Brandywine Battlefield On September 11, 1777, Washington's Continentals met the British forces under Lord Howe in the only major clash during the British campaign which resulted in the capture of Philadelphia. Although the battle was an American defeat, the Continentals demonstrated a newly-won ability to withstand the determined attack of British regulars, even while sustaining heavy losses.
