Answer 6

Lord Charles Cornwallis was in command of the British southern army in Yorktown. His forces were under siege by George Washington's troops on the land side and cut off from retreat or resupply by the French navy on the seaward side. Facing annihilation he surrendered his army at Yorktown, which brought a close to the war a few months later.
Ironically, as an influential member of the British Parliament, Lord Charles Cornwallis opposed nearly all of the British policies that led to the American Revolution. But he was a loyal solider and well connected. Hed been in the army since he was eighteen, and had fought in Germany during the Seven Years War. When the call to serve in the Revolution came in 1775, he accepted a military command as a major general.
