Explanation:

At the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, General Cornwallis was the British commander. He was trapped by the combined forces of the Continental Army (led by George Washington) and the French fleet. After a siege, he was forced to surrender. General John Burgoyne is known for his surrender at Saratoga. Haym Solomon was a financier, not a general. General Thomas Gates had different military engagements and was not the one surrendering at Yorktown.
