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.
