The British general O'Hara, on behalf of General Cornwallis who claimed to be sick, surrendered Cornwallis's sword at Yorktown. The terms of surrender had been agreed upon earlier that morning.

General Washington then called forth his second in command, General Benjamin Lincoln to accept the sword. Benjamin Lincoln was the commanding general at the Battle of Charleston, where he had been forced to surrender to Cornwallis with humiliating terms of surrender. General Benjamin Lincoln did accept the sword from General Charles O'Hara, officially declaring surrender for the British.
What does 'the majority of cases to the US Supreme Court come through appellate jurisdiction' mean?
Jurisdiction means the power, right and authority to interpret and apply law. The two primary types of jurisdiction discussed in relation to the US Supreme Court are original jurisdiction and appellate jurisdiction.The court that first hears a case, or holds a trial, has original jurisdiction. The trial judge or jury are "triers of fact"; they examine evidence, listen to testimony, and try to make a fair decision about whether the information they're provided is sufficient (in criminal cases) to find a defendant guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt."If one party disagrees with the judge or jury decision at the trial level, he (or she) can appeal his case to the next higher court. Courts that hear appeals from trial courts have appellate jurisdiction. Appellate courts are not triers of fact; they don't look at evidence or hear testimony. Instead, they try to determine whether the trial or decision conformed with the law and constitution, and whether the trial procedures and jury instructions were followed correctly enough to allow a fair trial.The US Supreme Court only has original jurisdiction over a small class of cases, and typically only considers disputes between the states under its original jurisdiction, while the lower federal courts handle the rest of the caseload. Conflicts between states don't occur very often, so these cases only represent a small portion of the Court's work.Most of the cases the Supreme Court reviews were first tried in (for example) US District Court, and (usually) appealed to a US Court of Appeals Circuit Court. The Supreme Court then acts as the "court of last resort," or the final decision-maker (appellate jurisdiction), over cases it considers important to the national interest. This is what is meant by "the majority of cases to the US Supreme Court come through appellate jurisdiction."

What are the differences between trial and appellate courts and how do these differences impact the legal process?
Trial courts are where cases are initially heard and evidence is presented, while appellate courts review decisions made by trial courts. Appellate courts do not hear new evidence or witnesses, but instead review the legal reasoning and procedures used in the trial court. The differences impact the legal process by providing a system of checks and balances, ensuring that decisions are fair and consistent with the law. Appellate courts can overturn or uphold decisions made by trial courts, leading to potential changes in legal precedent and outcomes of cases.
