During the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781, British soldiers displayed a sense of formality and discipline, adhering to military protocol even in defeat. In contrast, American soldiers exhibited a mix of triumph and relief, celebrating their hard-fought victory over the British. The British were required to march in a formal surrender ceremony, while American troops expressed their joy more openly, marking a significant turning point in the Revolutionary War. This difference in demeanor highlighted the contrasting cultures and experiences of the two armies.
Yorktown was on the water on one side, so the British army could not escape the large American/French army that was bombarding them. Rather than let his soldiers die, their commander, Cornwallis, elect to surrender. Cornwallis had pleaded for help from General Clinton's ships up in New York, but Clinton would not hurry for anybody, and so the ships made it to Yorktown a couple of days after Cornwallis had surrendered.
The Battle of Yorktown was important to the Americans because the American and French soldiers got the British soldiers to surrender which gave the Americans freedom from Britain but, even after that there were little battles because the word hadn't spread fully to everyone because the couldn't just call them and say " Hey Britain surrendered." p.s. To the guy on top that is very imature and if you did "write it code" why would you have commas? If you are going to just mess with people you might as well say " It gave them chocolate." because that still would be a better answer than you pressing random buttons. -SuperDalton101
Cornwallis surrendered all in all 7,247 soldiers and 840 seamen, in Yorktown and Gloucester on October 19,1781.

Because the Japanese fought to the death. They did not surrender.
The upset of the British was the key to the success of the revolution. By trapping the major British forces between the American soldiers and the French Navy forced the British to surrender. This was the key to the Victory of the colonists.
In 1781, it was the coastal settlement of Yorktown, Virginia, that served as the site of the American Revolution's final major battle, which culminated in the surrender (by Lord Cornwallis) of a sizeable British military force and ultimately led to the end of the war. Minor fighting continued after this American victory, however, and a final peace was not agreed-upon until two years later.
