The British surrendered at the Battle of Yorktown.

Explanation:

On October 19, 1781, British general Charles Cornwallis led his 8,000 troops to a port at Yorktown to receive troops from the British. But the Colonist's navy stopped British ships from entering the harbor. The British troops were caught off guard while the Colonists circled the British troops forcing them to surrender.
