Gotta love history...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

These two messages sent from Yorktown, Virginia tell the story:

To General Sir Henry Clinton
Commander in Chief
British Forces in America

I have the mortification to inform your Excellency that I have been forced to give up the posts of York and Gloucester, and to surrender the troops under my command, by capitulation on the 19th instant, as prisoners of war to the combined forces of America and France.

Lieutenant General Charles Lord Cornwallis

~~~

October 19, 1781
To the President of the Continental Congress

I have the honor to inform Congress that a reduction of the British Army under the command of Lord Cornwallis, is most happily effected.

General George Washington

~~~

The surrender of the British army at Yorktown did not immediately end the war, but it led directly to the loss of British resolve to continue, and we can see in hindsight that the victory secured American independence.

The American Revolution was one of the most profoundly important events in world history and it's easy for us to take it for granted all these years later. For the sparsely populated backwater colonies of North America to claim the right to govern themselves, and to take up arms against the world's greatest empire, was a bold and audacious act. Their victory was one of world history's greatest upsets and it ushered in the Age of Revolution, leading to the spread of democracy around the globe.

The British army under the command of Charles Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia on October 19, 1781, two hundred forty years ago today.

The painting is “Surrender of Lord Cornwallis” (1820) by John Trumbull. Note (as some commenters have pointed out) that although Cornwallis signed surrender document, he didn't personally attend the ceremony.
