Battle of Germantown

__After The Battle...:__ It is said that Germantown was a big influence in convincing the French Court that the American cause was worth supporting by a declaration of war on England.
=== The French were more impressed by the ability of the Americans to raise their army and deliver an attack on the British than by its lack of success. The good thing about the battle was the failure of the British commanders to exploit their battlefield success by pursuing and destroying the defeated American force. ===
