[Answer] Where did George Washington accept the surrender of British General Charles, Earl of Cornwallis to end the American Revolutionary War?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Where did George Washington accept the surrender of British General Charles, Earl of Cornwallis to end the American Revolutionary War?"



...After Washington set up a siege of Yorktown, General Lord Charles Cornwallis sent a letter on October 17, 1781, to Washington asking for terms of surrender. General Washington happily informed the Continental Congress of Cornwallis's surrender on October 19. Cornwallis surrendered over 8,000 British soldiers and seaman to Washington's combined American and French force at Yorktown, Virginia. Feigning illness, Cornwallis sent his second-in-command, General Charles O'Hara, to make the formal surrender of Cornwallis's sword to General Washington. Source: LOC.gov; History.com
