Meanwhile the French watched over the Chesapeake Bay, preventing British ships from rescuing Cornwallis's stranded army. For weeks, the patriots and the rest of the men fought the British wearing down the British's defenses. In early October, Washington prepared for a major attack on the weakened British troops. Facing near-certain defeat, on October 19, 1781, Cornwallis sent a drummer and a soldier with a white flag and a soldier and surrendered to Washington's camp. The Battle of Yorktown was the last major battle of the American Revolution.
