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.

Though the Treaty of Ghent and its ratification by both parties was supposedly the end of the American Revolution, it can be argued that the war did not end until the defeat of the British supported Indian Coalition in the Northwest Territories at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. This defeat, led by General Anthony Wayne, removed the British to the Canadian borders as established by the Treaty of Ghent.

Major hostilities ceased with the end of the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 formalized the peace.
