The Battle of Brandywine: The Revolutionary War in Four Minutes

Video | 243 years ago on September 11th, 1777, General George Washington and his Continental Army began their defense of Philadelphia at the Battle of Brandywine. Although resulting in a British victory, the Americans were able to hold together long enough - allowing the Continental Congress to escape the city and relocate. The Battle of Brandywine saw more troops in action than any other battle during the American Revolution.
