the Battle of Yorktown
The British general O'Hara, on behalf of General Cornwallis who claimed to be sick, surrendered Cornwallis's sword at Yorktown. The terms of surrender had been agreed upon earlier that morning. General Rochambeau was the intended receiver, but refused the sword, gesturing instead that O'Hara should give it to General Washington. General Washington then called forth his second in command, General Benjamin Lincoln to accept the sword. Benjamin Lincoln was the commanding general at the Battle of Charleston, where he had been forced to surrender to Cornwallis with humiliating terms of surrender. General Benjamin Lincoln did accept the sword from General Charles O'Hara, officially declaring surrender for the British.
