Today in history: this country suffered a major defeat in the Battle of Brandywine, September 11, 1777.
The battle, which was a decisive victory for the British, left Philadelphia, the revolutionary capital, undefended. The British captured the city on September 26, beginning an occupation that would last until June 1778.
