      He was the general who had won the Battle of Saratoga. He also hated G.W. in the beggining because like Lee he wanted to be the commander of the Continental army. But unlike Lee, Gates became friends with G.W. Gates looked down on G.W. and thought he was superior to him. But in the end G.W. earned his respect.

    Gates' results in command were much less satisfactory than his term as adjutant. He never got to command the Canadian Department, since the American Invasion of Canada had been abandoned before his arrival. He wound up as an assistant to General Schuyler in the Northern Department.

    Gates' wife Elizabeth died in the summer of 1783. Gates retired in 1784 and again returned to Virginia.

This force included other future Revolutionary War leaders such as Thomas Gage, Charles Lee, Daniel Morgan, and George Washington.

    Horatio Gates was discrased. He abandoned his men on his horse and ran away so fast his men could not catch up to him. Washington would never do that. Horatio Gates is nothing as a general compared to Washington.

      Charles Lee was a choice for who should be the General for the Continental army. When G.W. won him and Horatio Gates didn't like him one bit. He was captured by the British and during that time he sucked up to them. When he returned to G.W. he wanted to be in charge of an attack he failed it and G.W. took over. After that G.W. fired Lee and he was stripped of his title as general.

  • Lee is most notorious for his actions during the Battle of Monmouth. Washington needed a secondary commander to lead the frontal assault. He unwillingly chose to put Lee in charge as he was the most senior of his generals. Washington ordered him to attack the retreating enemy, but instead, Lee ordered a retreat. He retreated directly into Washington and his troops, who were advancing, and Washington dressed him down publicly. Lee responded with "inappropriate language" (insubordination), was arrested, and shortly thereafter court-martialed. Lee was found guilty, and he was relieved of command for a period of one year.

      Lee was confused and did not know what to do going into battle at Monmouth. After not knowing what to do he was relived from position by General George Washington. He was then in control and command of his soldiers. Then blaming Washington for reliving him because he was going to fight the spot Washington said what he said. Lee was relieved by command for a total year. Washington "dressed him down publicly", while lee responded with "inappropriate language".

    After completing his schooling, Lee reported for duty with his regiment in Ireland. He purchased a lieutenant's commission in 1751. He was sent with the regiment to America in 1754 for service in the French and Indian War under Major General Edward Braddock. Lieutenant Lee was apparently not with the regiment when it suffered disastrous defeat at the Battle of the Monongahela.

    When war appeared inevitable, he volunteered his services to the colonies. He expected to be named Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, being the most experienced candidate. On the other hand, he was born in Britain, somewhat eccentric, slovenly in appearance, coarse in language, and perhaps most of all, he wanted to be paid: by joining the rebellion, he forfeited all his properties in England, and wanted to be compensated.

    Lee was born in Cheshire, England, the son of General John Lee and Isabella Bunbury (daughter of Sir Henry Bunbury, 3rd Baronet). He was sent to school in Switzerland and became proficient in several languages. He returned to England in 1746 at the age of fourteen to attend grammar school at Bury St Edmunds. That same year his father, then colonel of the 55th Foot (later renumbered the 44th), purchased a commission for Charles as an ensign in the same regiment.
