at Yorktown, General Cornwallis was unable to retreat because Washington's Army surrounded him on land, and the French fleet of ships surrounded him on sea, so General Cornwallis surrendered and the colonies won the Revolutionary War.

During the American Civil War, it was the South that eventually surrendered, thereby bringing the four-year-long conflict to an end. More particularly, General Robert E. Lee, acknowledging defeat at the hands of his nemesis, General Ulysses S. Grant, surrendered not only his troops but also the South as a whole, in recognition of the dominating position which the Union had achieved in the Spring of 1865.
