Explanation:

The American victory at Yorktown was a decisive moment in the American Revolution. It made the British realize they were fighting a lost - cause and soon after, they conceded the war. The other options do not accurately describe the significance of Yorktown. Option B refers to a different aspect of the war (getting neutral colonists to enlist), option C is about removing barracks in New Jersey, option D is about securing French aid (which was already happening before Yorktown in many ways), and option E is incorrect as it was not the colonists' first victory.

Answer:

A. It made the British realize they were fighting a lost cause and soon after, they conceded the war.
