I fixed the links. Thanks for noticing, David. Those permalinks were in the old Blogger style, from back in the day, not the new(er) WordPress style.

Howe, on facing a Court of Enquiry regarding his lack of performance at White Plains and Brandywine explained that “I have political reasons, and no other, for declining to explain why that assault was not made”. Between Clinton’s timidity, Howe’s refusal to do his utmost to engage the enemy, Cornwallis’ Whig aides, and the massive assistance from France, there should be no surprise that the secessionists prevailed.

I have a friend whose grandfather is descended from loyalists who bugged out to New Brunswick. In later generations at least one branch ended up back in downeast Maine. They’re not exactly bitter about what happened, but the memory is still very much alive.
