Although Cornwallis was politically opposed to the War in the Colonies, he agreed to serve Britain there. Due to confusing orders from his superior officer, General Clinton, and poor leadership decisions, Cornwallis took the blame for the poorly planned military skirmishes against Washington and Lafayette. After the war, Cornwallis and Clinton maintained a war of words in Britain, each blaming the other. Cornwallis, however, maintained the favor of King George III
