Washington Demonstrated That The Americans Would Fight On No Matter Which Cities The British Controlled

Talking about the facts about the Philadelphia Campaign, facts about George Washington is not to be missed. George Washington was the one who led the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He managed a new army for a brief period of time in 1798 after serving as President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. He was the military figurehead for the American Revolution. On June 14, 1775, Congress gave him the first command of the new Continental Army after the Battles of Lexington and Concord ignited the conflict.The task he undertook was enormous, balancing regional demands, rivalry among his subordinates, morale among the rank and file, attempts by Congress to overly regulate the army's affairs, requests for support from state governors, and an endless need for resources with which to feed, clothe, equip, arm, and move the troops. The numerous state militia groups were typically not under his authority.

After seizing Philadelphia in 1777, Howe eventually made his way back to New York. He gradually understood that North American military strategies would be ineffective in Europe. Armies engaged in direct combat to take control of important cities around Europe. However, the British were still in a weaker position in 1777 despite controlling Philadelphia and New York. After New York, Washington came to the conclusion that the largely unskilled Continental Army was unable to defeat the skilled British army in direct combat. Therefore, he created his own system of warfare that consisted of smaller, more regular skirmishes and shied away from large battles that would have put his entire army at risk. No matter how many cities the British took, as long as he maintained the army together, the fight would continue.
