The World Turned Upside Down

Who would have figured that a young, scrappy and hungry ('Hamilton' - I couldn't resist) army could defeat the most well-trained and disciplined army in the world? With the help of their French allies, General Washington's army achieves a victory in Yorktown; a pivotal moment in the Revolution... BRITAIN SURRENDERS! Independence from Great Britain is now closer than ever. As patriots (aka students) worked toward negotiating a peace agreement with Great Britain, there was certainly cause for celebration. What better way to rejoice than holding a tea party, of course! These soon-to-be Americans celebrated jubilantly, sipping tea as one does (notice the pinkies), and discussed their terms for the peace treaty. See you in Paris in 1783 with quills in hand!
