because he did not want them to take his plans or see his plans
Lord Admiral William Cornwallis
Cornwallis died of a fever on October 5th, 1805 in Ghazipur, India.
it was "Old Fox" because Generals Washington's army had trick General Cornwallis
General Cornwallis' army surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781, but Cornwallis himself was not there to surrender to General George Washington.
Lord Cornwallis said nothing to Washington upon his surrender at Yorktown, because they never met. Cornwallis could not bring himself to hand over his sword to the American commander, so he sent his second in command, General Charles O'Hara to do it for him, claiming indisposition. Washington had his own second in command Gemeral Benjamin Lincoln accept the surrender.

Charles Cornwallis.
British Lord and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis lead the British troops against the combined forces of the American Continental Army troops and the French Army troops in the Siege of Yorktown. Cornwallis asked for capitulation terms on October 17, 1781, negotiations began on October 18th, and the articles of capitulation were signed on October 19. Cornwallis claimed illness and did not attend the ceremony of surrender so Brigadier General Charles O'Hara presented the sword of surrender to Benjamin Lincoln, George Washington's second in command.
He set up camp and kept fires going (so the British thought they were at camp) and marched to Cornwallis.
