Hello Friend, Greetings.
Thanks for asking the question at brainly.
Your Answer: Charles Cornwallis led several successful early campaigns during the American Revolution, securing British victories at New York, Brandywine and Camden. In 1781, as second in command to Gen. Henry Clinton, he moved his forces to Virginia, where he was defeated at the Battle of Yorktown. This American victory and Cornwallis’ surrender of his troops to George Washington was the final major conflict of the American Revolution.
The eldest son of the first earl Cornwallis, Charles Cornwallis saw military service in Germany during the Seven Years’ War, fighting at Minden (1759). He became major general in 1775, served under Sir Henry Clinton during the American Revolution in the successful campaign to capture New York (1776), and led the pursuit across New Jersey.
