Inspired by similar ideas to this thread; here's the PoD:

At the Battle of Monmouth, LaFayette leads the initial attack as originally planned, and the British take much heavier casualties; combined with a successful capture of Newport the next month (also unlike OTL), the ultimate result is that Clinton surrenders to Washington by the end of the year.

And so the war ends earlier; first, is the above outline plausible? And second, what are the effects of an earlier American victory?
