General Washington positions eleven thousand men between Howe and Philadelphia but is outflanked and driven back at the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777 and suffers over one thousand casualties, while the British lose about half that number, though Howe fails to follow-up on the victory and destroy Washington's army.
