Battle of brandywine

The battle of Brandy wine was on September 11 1777 I can remember this very well because September 11 was also the date of another important day in history and the 1777 part is pretty easy to remember if it was something like 1754 or 1763 then I wouldn’t be talking about it but nope instead its 1777 it kinda sticks in your brain. The huge fight went down in Philadelphia. It was a day unlike many and George Washington knew that it was coming his spy’s had warned him of the attack being planned by the British so George Washington thought that it would be a good move if he moved his men to the final part of the fort there were a few lines of defense at this fort kinda like a circle within a circle. The patriots were at waiting for the British meanwhile the British were going by sea as to not be spotted but George all ready knew they were coming when the British reached ashore they expected to see men inside the outer wall but were shocked to find it compleatly empty so the British soldiers were expecting them to jump out of some barrels or something but that never happend. after that they went to the inner wall from the outer wall still nobody so  they figured that they should just  sit down in the middle of a american fort and sip some tea. Not there smartest move yet but at least the Patriots were still on the inside or all the British soldiers would be dead. When they were done sipping there tea they finally went inside prepared for a fight. Once they opend the door all you could hear was gun fire the battle lasted for a while but in the end sadly the patriots had no choice but to retreat into the woods. In that battle 93 people had died there were 488 men who were injured. After the war George Washington may just be starting to loose hope.
