ITT: obscure figures who changed history
>picrelated
>holds up with his men in a local mansion at Germantown, PA when Washington and co. attempt to spring a surprise attack on Clinton
>somehow it works and the Brits go running
>Washington and co. spot the house, see it's occupied
>fucking Henry Knox convinces Washington they need to take the mansion lest they "leave a castle in their rear"
>everybody else insists George just leave a handful of men to take the Brits should they try to leave the house
>"nah fuck that, bring up the cannon!" - Washington
>they only fire at the one side of the house that is solid Pennyslvania rock, two feet thick
>literally waste men's lives trying to bumrush the doors and start fires
>all get their knees blown out like Sam Jackson in Django by the Brits in the basement
>instead of giving up the mansion Washington keeps at it
>so much so that now his men are turning back from chasing the Brits because of the continued cannon fire in their rear
>this whole affair turns Washington's advantage into a disaster
>Battle of Germantown becomes a stalemate when it should have been a Saratoga-tier victory for the Rebels
>all because of picrel spawn camping
