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.

What is a con of capitalism?
Alik [6]

Capitalism Con:

While the success of capitalism is based on this basic human instinct of self-promotion, the line dividing self-promotion from prevarication is thin. Capitalism ends up fostering success for those people who have a tendency to prevaricate and impose their self-interest: an ability that served us well as a specie when we were competing for food and resources in the wild but that could have catastrophic consequences now, given the level of complexity and interconnectedness of our societies.

<u>Short answer-</u>

Capitalism Con:

Prone to cronyism which blocks competition

o-na [289]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A primary source is one that is written by someone who experienced the event firsthand. Anne Frank's diary is an example of a primary source. She was the first (primary) person who experienced what happened on that hierarchy.

A secondary source is one that is written about a primary source. It comes second on the hierarchy of receiving historical information because it has to be based on a primary source, which gives the actual information. A history documentary is an example of a secondary source.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
