General Cornwallisâ Surrender at Yorktown. Charles Cornwallis, known as the Earl Cornwallis at the time of the American Revolutionary War and later as the 1st Marquess Cornwallis, is remembered as one of the British generals involved in the field during the war. His surrender at the Siege of Yorktown was one of the final acts of active hostilities before peace was signed.
In Parliament, Cornwallis often voted in support of the American colonial position. In 1766, Cornwallis became colonel of the 33rd Regiment of Foot. He was a Constable of the Tower of London in 1771 and was promoted to major general by King George III in 1775 as Britain braced for war with the American colonies.
