    SURRENDER AT YORKTOWN
    On October 19, 1781, British General Charles Cornwallis surrendered his army of some 8,000 men to General George Washington at Yorktown, giving up any chance of winning the Revolutionary War. ... Hours after the surrender, the general's defeated troops marched out of Yorktown to the tune “The World Turned Upside Down.”
