-William Howe was a general in the Revolutionary War.

1.While fighting George Washington's troops, he retreated to Philadelphia and brought back Hessians to fight. This let George Washington's troop to win.

2.Instead of following the normal "plan", Howe left to have a fight against the colonist just with his own troops. This also allowed the colonists to win.
