In "Parody," written on March 20, 1781, St. George Tucker satires a victory proclamation issued by the British general Charles Cornwallis after the Battle of Guilford Court House, fought on March 15. Tucker was wounded in the battle, which was an American defeat despite the fact that British forces suffered twice as many casualties.
