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.

n200080 [17]

Between the time periods of 600-1450 Common Era, it was referred to as the dark ages in Europe because the cities and regions in Europe lack poetry, which was a dark experience. It was not really a dark globally, but only in the part of Europe wherein poetry vanished, but right after the dark ages, was the beginning of the modern age, which gave life to poetry and to music once more.
