United Kingdom: c1786. Miniature portrait of Charles Cornwallis, British soldier and statesman, who is "probably best known for his defeat at Yorktown, Virginia, in the last important campaign (September 28–October 19, 1781) of the American Revolution. Cornwallis was possibly the most capable British general in that war, but he was more important for his achievements as British governor-general of India (1786–93, 1805) and viceroy of Ireland (1798–1801). A veteran of the Seven Years’ War (1756–63)—during which (1762) he succeeded to his father’s earldom and other titles—Cornwallis, who had opposed the British policies that antagonized the North American colonists, nonetheless fought to suppress the American Revolution. Late in 1776 he drove General George Washington’s patriot forces out of New Jersey, but early in 1777 Washington recaptured part of that state.
