Battle of Brandywine
Time: Friday Sep 12, 1777
Place: Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Details: Howe outmaneuvered Washington at the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, and marched unopposed into the nation's capital at Philadelphia. A Patriot attack failed against the British at Germantown in October. Major General Thomas Conway prompted some members of Congress (referred to as the Conway Cabal) to consider removing Washington from command because of the losses incurred at Philadelphia. Washington's supporters resisted and the matter was finally dropped after much deliberation. Once exposed, Conway wrote an apology to Washington, resigned, and returned to France.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
