Question

Use the map of the Battle of Yorktown to complete the task.



Based on your knowledge of social studies, match each letter to the country whose troops it labels.
X
Y
Z

Answer 1

I can’t see the map you’re referring to. Could you upload the image or describe where X, Y and Z are located (e.g., “X is inside the fort at Yorktown,” “Y is to the north of the siege lines,” “Z is in the Chesapeake Bay”)?

If you can’t share the map, the usual labels for a Yorktown siege map are:
- British — the troops inside Yorktown (Cornwallis)
- American — Washington’s troops on one side of the siege lines
- French — Rochambeau’s ground troops and de Grasse’s fleet

If you tell me which letter is on the town, which is on the American lines and which is on the French lines/fleet, I’ll give the exact matches.
