Why was it a mistake for General Cornwallis to camp his army at Yorktown?

Yorktown sat on a peninsula, which left Cornwallis’s army with limited routes for escape. French and American forces surrounded it by land, while the French fleet blocked the way by sea, trapping the British army. So the main mistake was choosing a position where the army could be surrounded, not simply that resupply was difficult.
