Americans went to war to win their independence from Great Britain. Just weeks after fighting broke out at Lexington and Concord, the Continental Congress appointed George Washington commander
in chief of an army “for the Defense of American Liberty.” Outmatched American troops often retreated, but returned to fight again, frustrating British efforts to crush the rebellion. A stunning American victory at
Yorktown finally sapped Britain’s will to fight, and in 1783, both parties signed the Treaty of Paris. America
had won its independence.
