Cornwallis's Retreat happened on 1795-06-17.
After realizing he could not control North Carolina, Cornwallis did not retreat to Georgia; instead, he moved his forces to Virginia. His goal was to establish a strong position there and secure supplies, believing that consolidating his troops in Virginia would allow him to engage with the Continental Army more effectively. This decision ultimately led to the Siege of Yorktown, where his forces were trapped and forced to surrender in 1781.
