By late September 1781, British commander General Lord Charles Cornwallis had not suffered any major defeats in nine months. Nonetheless, he soon found himself and his 8,0000 men trapped on a nearly indefensible piece of land. He was forced to surrender, and the Battle of Yorktown became the last major battle of the Revolution.
