Briefly, poor scouting on the part of the American patriots is the reason that the British forces under General Sir William Howe were able to get behind General George Washington's right flank. Upon discovery, the American forces deployed three divisions. They proffered stiff resistance, but the wing was broken through - offering a chance at the left wing. The American retreat to the northeast was covered by one division, but subsequent British maneuvers left Philadelphia vulnerable.
