Savannah, Georgia, oo uu hoggaaminayo General Benjamin Lincoln, waaxda koonfureed ee ciidanka Continental waxay dib ugu laabteen Charleston, South Carolina. Janaraal Sir Henry Clinton ayaa ciidamadiisa dhaqaajiyay, wuxuuna hareereeyay magaalada ay ciidanka Lincoln ku sugnaayeen wuxuuna ka jaray fursad kasta oo ciidanka Continental ay ku gaaraan. Ka hor inta uusan is dhiibin, Lincoln wuxuu awooday in uu fariimo u diro General Washington iyo Congress-ka iyagoo weydiisanaya caawimaad. Dhamaadkii Abriil 1780, Washington waxay dirtay General Johann de Kalb oo ay la socdeen 1,400 oo ka tirsan ciidamada Maryland iyo Delaware. Qeyb weyn oo ka mid ah ciidankan waxaa ka mid ahaa ciidanka Maryland Line, iyadoo Williams uu u adeegi jiray jagada gaashaanle guud ee General De Kalb.
