after the surrender ceremony for the battle of yorktown, what happened next?

Answer 1

Hope this helps: Lord Cornwallis' surrendered on October 19, 1781 and this ended the disastrous British southern campaign. The loyalist and Patriot forces in the south had fought a series of savage fights that left both sides bloodied. These engagements sent Cornwallis limping into Yorktown in late summer trailed by a force led by the Marquis de Lafayette a French Ally. Cornwallis attempted to surrender over 8,000 men to the French through his second-in-command, Charles O'Hara. French General Comte de Rochambeau, however, directed O'Hara to George Washington, who steered the British officer to his own second in command, Major General Benjamin Lincoln. .The surrender occurred while the British band played The World Turned Upside Down, a tune that underscored the strange turn of events. This battle effectively ended the Revolutionary War with Great Britain.
