26 Sept 1777 Jahr - British Capture of Philadelphia

Beschreibung:

The end of the Philadelphia Campaign, in which General Howe seeked to capture the city of Philadelphia. It was an enticing target, being the US capital, the largest English North American city, and contained numerous Loyalists, just to name a few reasons. After Howe's victory at Brandywine, he moved on Philadelphia and captured it. Congress hid out at Lancaster, PA during the occupation. A day later, they moved west and relocated at York, PA on September 30. They relocated back to Philadelphia in June 1778, when the city was recaptured by the Americans.
