To Surrender
Lowering a flag at sea to indicate surrender is called "striking the colors." This act signals to enemy vessels that a ship is yielding or capitulating, often to avoid further conflict or destruction. It is a long-standing maritime tradition and is recognized internationally as a sign of surrender.

The British general O'Hara, on behalf of General Cornwallis who claimed to be sick, surrendered Cornwallis's sword at Yorktown. The terms of surrender had been agreed upon earlier that morning. General Rochambeau was the intended receiver, but refused the sword, gesturing instead that O'Hara should give it to General Washington. General Washington then called forth his second in command, General Benjamin Lincoln to accept the sword. Benjamin Lincoln was the commanding general at the Battle of Charleston, where he had been forced to surrender to Cornwallis with humiliating terms of surrender. General Benjamin Lincoln did accept the sword from General Charles O'Hara, officially declaring surrender for the British.

On April 18, 1865, Union General Sherman had forced the Confederate General Joseph Johnston to agree to an "agreement" which called for an armistice between the two armies. This so-called agreement was a surrender document that contained language concerning reconstruction policies. This was beyond the scope of a victorious field general, and President Andrew Johnson rejected it. Six days later he approved virtually the same agreement.
