Best Answer

George Washington, at the time a general, inaccurately gauged the British forces, believing them to be a lot smaller. The British employed a flanking maneuver, where the army was split into 3 parts. One to march head on to the Americans, with the attention focused on them. Oblivious to the Americans, the other two parts came up from behind on either side.

The British had better, more experienced troops than Washington did. Washington was outnumbered 23,000 to 32,000, and most of his soldiers were untrained recruits with poor equipment. Because of such factors, Washington suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

No. The Battle of Brandywine (September 11, 1777) is considered a British victory. General Howe's troops forced Washington to retreat and the British captured Philadelphia.
