dc.descriptionBritish forces had captured Philadelphia in 1777. In 1778 France joined the war resulting in a change of strategy by the British. Under the direction of Sir Henry Clinton they decided to evacuate Philadelphia and concentrate his troops at the main British base in New York City. On June 18, the British began to evacuate Philadelphia, and began their approximately 100-mile march to the northeast across New Jersey to New York City. The British force comprised 11,000 British and German regulars, a thousand Loyalists from Philadelphia, and a baggage train 12 miles long. As the British advanced, the Americans slowed their advance by burning bridges, muddying wells. The British army would meet General Washington in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
