Dec 13, 2020 at 22:17 comment added Schwern @MarkC.Wallace Thanks. I was at Saratoga this summer and this is all fresh in my mind.
Dec 13, 2020 at 14:03 comment added MCW Question should have preliminary research, but if we have the chance to provide a good answer, then by all means, @Schwern, lay on!

Dec 12, 2020 at 16:39 comment added T.E.D. @LarsBosteen - I think this is in judgement call range. If I could google the title, click on the first WP hit in the results, and then excerpt a paragraph as the "answer", that's obviously too basic. If I must compile an answer from information scattered around a WP page or three that someone without my knowledge on the subject wouldn't even know to look for, that doesn't seem quite so "basic".

Dec 11, 2020 at 13:36 comment added T.E.D. @Schwern - Shame this got closed. I think an answer to that effect would have been valuable.
Dec 11, 2020 at 8:35 comment added Schwern The Philadelphia Campaign also illustrates why it wasn't necessarily a good idea. It didn't end the war, they didn't capture Congress, the British abandoned Philadelphia, and it left the potentially far more dangerous Saratoga campagin unsupported leading to a major British defeat.
