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.

They did not think Parliament had the constitutional authority to impose revenue taxes on them

Please read the explanation.... it always helps... i promise

Explanation:

So the American colonists were really disappointed that the British parliament imposed taxes on them without their consent. This started the movement known as "the american revolution" along with other factors.

In fact, the colonists called it "taxation without representation"

The colonists thought that the parliament had no right to govern them and that their own government should be in charge of imposing taxes
