have protected.
Http://www.britishbattles.com/germantown.htm. Web. 13 Oct. 2012. The quote I use from this site deals with the
opening maneuvers of the Battle of Germantown. It shows that the Americans were slow in their marching,
since one group of them was late to its starting point for the battle.
