He was the Commander in Chief, America for the British Forces, from September 1775 until May of 1778. He was in command at the Siege of Boston, the capture of New York City and the capture of Philadelphia. He resigned his Commission after the British defeat at the Battle of Saratoga. Some laid the blame for General John Burgoyne's defeat at his hands. In any case that defeat virtually ended his military career although no official blame or charge was ever brought forward or established.
