| | American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An attempt by French and American forces to retake Savannah failed on October 9, 1779. | | | This manpower shortage became critical after French and Spanish entry into the war, because British troops had to be dispersed in several theaters, where previously they had been concentrated in America. | | | Once any area had been occupied, troops had to be kept there or the Revolutionaries would regain control, and these troops were thus unavailable for further offensive operations. |

| | The American retreat from Breed's Hill was, for inexperienced volunteers and militia, an orderly one and Howe's depleted regiments were unable to prevent the Americans' escape. | | | Convinced that he had the Americans in a trap, he put off battle until the next day because of the exhausted state of his troops. | | | In assessing blame in this fashion, one must keep in mind the difficulties of logistics and communications under which the British labored, for these difficulties made it virtually impossible to co-ordinate plans over great distances or to assemble men and materials in time to pursue one logical and consistent plan. |
