the american war of independence ended in 1783,when britain and america signed the treaty of paris.
Cornwallis surrendered his army to George Washington on October 19th, 1781. Actually, the second in commands to Cornwallis and Washington (can't remember the names) did the offical surrender. Cornwallis was "sick" and Washington would not take the sword from Cornwallis' second in command so Washington appointed his scecond in command to take the sword.
