Geocache Description:

This cache will take you to one of the many historical sites in and around the city of Mobile, AL.

Revolutionary War at Mobile. 
 
Siege of Fort Charlotte (Condé), 1780.
Spain, America's ally, declared war on Great Britain in June 1779. Bernardo de Galvez, governor of Spanish Louisiana at New Orleans, led the attack against the British along the lower Mississippi River and Gulf Coast. In February 1780, Galvez laid siege upon the British forces here at Fort Charlotte (Condé), resulting in its surrender and the capture of the city of Mobile, March 14, 1780. Galvez next captured Pensacola and accepted the surrender of West Florida, May 9, 1781, thus aiding the American colonists by removing the British threat from the Gulf of Mexico.

There are several other plaques in the immediate vicinity detailing other events so be sure to check them out as well.
