SIEGE OF YORKTOWN: THE JAMES ARMISTEAD STORY
Genre: Drama, Biopic, History, War
Every American history textbook has taught us how American Independence was won. When I examined further American history, I realized that nothing could be more implausible as evidence when a series of aspects are examined. We will see in this movie, based on known facts and even written diaries by George Washington himself and his French allies that there are clear contradictions to our history books. This movie will also challenge traditional historians and revisionists, who for many years have ignored information available of how American Independence was won. What we've learned from our history books is that the "Yorktown Campaign of 1781 " was a long-laid scheme that was planned months in advance by General George Washington and his French allies. But the evidence will prove otherwise. The movie depicts the duration of the “Yorktown Campaign Decision” which lead to the "Siege of Yorktown", with focus on the relationship between a black patriot spy, James Armistead, and the French General Marquis de Lafayette of the Continental Army. Their role during this time of the war played a pivotal part in gathering intelligence, conveying information to General George Washington that consequently lead the Americans and the French armies to victory that won the American Independence.
