Why did george washington decide to attack the british at yorktown?
Washington was not experienced in bombard-type battles and invasions (siege warfare). He instead went to General Rochambeau of the French Army for advice, and Rochambeau suggested that Yorktown was the better option as it was next to water (The Chesapeake Bay/ Atlantic). This was better as French ships could surround Yorktown and the land forces along with artillery could bombard the city by using fortified trenches. This was a more strategic option rather than attacking a fully armed and fortified New York City where General Clinton's forces took command. This option instead of attacking Yorktown would be disastrous and therefore cause the remaining American forces along with French forces to sustain many casualties.

Can you move out at 17 in Virginia?
This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.
