George Washington and CounterintelligenceOnce George Washington heard of General Cornwallis' movement to Yorktown, he created a plan to meet them there. In order to ensure that he would not be attacked by General Henry Clinton's troops from the North and that they would not aid Cornwallis, Washington used counterintelligence to convince Clinton he was going to invade New York City when in reality he was headed to Yorktown (6).
