He planned a massive surprise attack to crush the Continental Army in its sleep. But he didn't count on one thing: a Quaker spy listening at the keyhole . Welcome to History Distilled! Today, we're exploring the Battle of White Marsh, a critical, multi-day engagement in December 1777. After being beaten at Brandywine and Germantown , Washington's army dug into a natural fortress and dared General Howe to attack , hoping to bait him into another Bunker Hill. Discover how intelligence from Lydia Darragh , the savage forest fighting of Daniel Morgan's riflemen , and Washington's patient strategy led to a profound American victory. This battle stopped the British cold, led to Howe's recall in disgrace , and set the stage for the legendary winter at Valley Forge. #History,#AmericanHistory,#MilitaryHistory,#AmericanRevolution,#RevolutionaryWar,#PhiladelphiaCampaign,#Whitemarsh Thanks to our monthly supporters Dan","meta_description":"General Howe had one last chance to destroy Washington's army before winter.
