When the British captured Fort Washington in November 1776, they were met with a mixture of triumph and disbelief upon seeing the sheer number of American defenders. British troops were surprised by the determination of the Continental Army, as the fort housed a significant number of soldiers, despite their ultimately unsuccessful defense. This victory bolstered British morale and confidence in their campaign against the American Revolution. However, the capture also highlighted the challenges the British faced in overcoming an increasingly resolute and resilient opposition.
