In the movie, the patriot, with mel gibson, near the end of the battle of yorktown, shortly before he surrendered, the actor playing general cornwallis stated, “everything will change…everything has changed.” what does he mean?

Explanation:    British general Cornwallis stated this shortly before the surrender, in despair and sorrow, and this meant that he became aware that an old, overwhelmed, dogmatic ideology had fallen, and slowly gave the place the age of reason and enlightenment. He realized that under the dogmatic of Britain, the possibility of rebellion by the colonists became very easy and accessible, which was unimaginable, at least in the heads of dogmatic leaders. In this statement of Genaral Cornwallis is illustrated what is characteristic when the reason wins over the authority, which is nibbling and nostalgia for old times, as well as the fear of what will come. This fear is caused by a new practical and entrepreneurial spirit, in those who are accustomed to an ancient system of power and privileges, which will naturally lose in the age of reason.
