Surrender of Bataan 1942, Corregidor Island a month later. 70,000-90,000 American and Filipino troops lay down their arms. Only USMC surrender in American history?

I don't remember details from the War of Northern Aggression like y'all. Especially details regarding the bluecoats.

Here's one concerning Bataan, what general did MacArthur have the Japanese surrender to aboard the battleship Missouri?
