The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The reason that Cornwallis gave for staying at Yorktown and trying to defend his position there was that he had received orders from General Clinton -the commander of the British troops in the Revolutionary War- to protect the harbor in the Chesapeake Bay, to guard the British fleet. Lord Cornwallis chose Yorktown because it had deep waters in the York River. But by that time, the Continental Army led by General George Washington had already received the support of 5000 French soldiers that helped the Americans to defeat the British.

An outline for an argumentative essay about capitalism and socialism

mafiozo [28]

Explanation:

Socialism and capitalism are two social, political and economic systems of antagonistic relationship regarding the management of goods and the mechanisms of production in a society.

Both terms are commonly used in contemporary social and political debates, and popularly represent the two opposing models of management of societies: one focused on the accumulation of capital (capitalism) and the other on the social conduction of production (socialism) .

The struggle between these two models derives from the times of the Cold War, in which two political and economic blocs in the world opposed: the communist, orchestrated by the U.R.S.S. and the capitalist, by the U.S. and the allied countries (France, England).
