Quoted from Wikipedia:"The Siege of Yorktown, Battle of Yorktown, or Surrender of Yorktown in 1781 was a decisive victory by a combined assault of American forces led by General George Washington and French forces led by the Comte de Rochambeau over a British Army commanded by Lieutenant General Lord Cornwallis. It proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War in North America, as the surrender of Cornwallis' army prompted the British government eventually to negotiate an end to the conflict."

British Lord and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis lead the British troops against the combined forces of the American Continental Army troops and the French Army troops in the Siege of Yorktown. Cornwallis asked for capitulation terms on October 17, 1781, negotiations began on October 18th, and the articles of capitulation were signed on October 19. Cornwallis claimed illness and did not attend the ceremony of surrender so Brigadier General Charles O'Hara presented the sword of surrender to Benjamin Lincoln, George Washington's second in command.
Lord Charles Cornwallis is the British general who was accused of "losing America" having fought against the Americans in many different battles during the Revolutionary War. In 1776, Cornwallis arrived in America two years after the Revolution started. Cornwallis came to America with the rank of major general, but by 1780 he was responsible for the entire British campaign in the South. At first Cornwallis was successful against the American forces, but that all began to change in January 1781 when he was defeated by Nathanael Greene's army in South Carolina. In August 1781 Cornwallis was in Yorktown waiting for more troops to arrive. However, by the time the new British troops arrived the French were ready to attack. The American and French troops cornered the British forces and Cornwallis' forces had to surrender. The British surrender at Yorktown led to the end of the Revolutionary War. After the war, Cornwallis became the Governor General of India and the Viceroy of Ireland. Cornwallis died in 1805.
