On the 18th Lord Howe landed a strong body on the Jersey shore underLord Cornwallis, who marched to Fort Lee and surprised it. A deserterhad informed the enemy of his approach and the garrison had fled indisorder, leaving their tents, provisions, and military stores behindthem. Lord Cornwallis, pushing forward with great energy, drove theAmericans out of New Jersey. Another expedition occupied Rhode Island.
Cold weather now set in and the English went into winter quarters. Theirsuccess had been... complete, without a single check, and had they been ledvigorously the army of Washington might on two occasions have beenwholly destroyed. In such a case the moderate portion of the populationof the colonies would have obtained a hearing, and a peace honorable toboth parties might have been arrived at.
The advantage gained by the gallantry of the British troops was, however, entirely neutralized by the lethargy and inactivity of theirgeneral, and the colonists had time given them to recover from the alarmwhich the defeat of their troops had given them, to put another army inthe field, and to prepare on a great scale for the following campaign.
