From http://www.nps.gov/york: On October 19, 1781, a British army under General Charles Lord Cornwallis was forced to surrender to General Washington's combined American and French army. Upon hearing of their defeat, British Prime Minister Frederick Lord North is reputed to have said, "Oh God, it's all over." And it was. The victory secured independence for the United States and significantly changed the course of world history.

Grrr Im going to post this comment here... In the series Washington's Generals... titled "Lord Cornwallis" The program info has made a rather serious blunder. It states, " Lord Cornwallis leaves the britsh army to join Washington and fight with him... LMAO ummm NO he surrendered at Yorktown and never returned to America.
