Gates's hastily-assembled new southern army fell apart at the Battle of Camden, which took place on August 16, 1780. The American forces, under General Horatio Gates, faced a decisive defeat against the British troops led by General Cornwallis. The lack of proper training, poor leadership, and the overwhelming strength of the British forces contributed to the collapse of Gates's army. This defeat severely weakened the American position in the South during the Revolutionary War.
Britain formally surrendered at the end of the American Revolutionary War with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. However, a significant moment of surrender occurred on October 19, 1781, when British General Cornwallis surrendered his army to American and French forces at Yorktown, Virginia. This defeat effectively ended major combat operations in the colonies and paved the way for peace negotiations.
Washington, commanding American and French forces, forced Cornwallis to surrender his entire British Army of the South there, effectively ending the Revolution, though years of negotiation followed.

"Cornwallis" is the last name of the British general who surrendered some 7,000 British troops to the American and French forces surrounding Yorktown in 1781. Although it would not be until 1783 that a formal peace treaty would be signed, it was the defeat of Lieutenant General Lord Cornwallis and his army at Yorktown, in the last major battle of the war, that would lead to the war's end.

at Yorktown, General Cornwallis was unable to retreat because Washington's Army surrounded him on land, and the French fleet of ships surrounded him on sea, so General Cornwallis surrendered and the colonies won the Revolutionary War.
On August 15, 1780 an American army, led by General Horatio Gates was badly defeated by the British Army led by Gen. Lord Cornwallis. This defeat opened the way for the British to invade North Carolina.
