Beschreibung

The event of Cornwallis resigning his sword to Washington at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781 is a momentous occasion in American history. It symbolizes the culmination of years of struggle and sacrifice during the American Revolutionary War. General Cornwallis' surrender to General Washington, surrounded by American and French forces, signaled the end of major hostilities and paved the way for American independence. General Washington's refusal to personally accept Cornwallis' sword, instead directing it to be given to General Benjamin Lincoln, exemplified his humility and respect for the defeated enemy. The surrender at Yorktown demonstrated the determination and resolve of the American and French allies and dealt a significant blow to British morale. It remains a pivotal moment in the story of the American Revolution, marking the beginning of the end for British control in the colonies and the dawn of a new era of American nationhood. 1826 Steel Engraving - Antique Print.
