Northern Virginia. You can find it on a map by searching Battle of Manassas as it is known in the South, or Battle of Bull Run as it is known in the North.

In 1781, it was the coastal settlement of Yorktown, Virginia, that served as the site of the American Revolution's final major battle, which culminated in the surrender (by Lord Cornwallis) of a sizeable British military force and ultimately led to the end of the war. Minor fighting continued after this American victory, however, and a final peace was not agreed-upon until two years later.
