General George Washington coordinated with Marquis de Lafayette to block Cornwallis’ escape from Yorktown in September.

Cornwallis surrendered on October 19, 1781 (or sent a lackey to surrender since he was embarrassed.) This was the beginning of the end for the British in the War for Independence.
