Excerpt from The Life of General Washington, First President of the United States, Vol. 2 of 2: Written by Himself, Comprising His Memoirs and Correspondence, as Prepared by Him for Publication, Including Several Original Letters Now First Printed

The Revolutionary War was now fast approaching its crisis. The union between the French and American armies was complete, and both parties felt that the opening season could not fail to bring with it decisive events and results. And so it proved. What were the plans of operation of the British Commanders, it is difficult to determine, with positiveness. It seems to have been their chief aim, to divide the forces, and distract the attention, of the American Commander-in-chief, by simultaneous, vigorous invasions and movements, in different and distant parts of the country. It was the purpose of Washington, to call forth the energies of the Colonies to the utmost possible extent, to meet and withstand the enemy, wherever he might show himself; but, while he sought to do this, at the same time he resolved to strike some signal blow, by concentrating as large a force as could be spared from other assailed or assailable points, and, by utterly overwhelming one of the larger divisions of the British army, bring the war to a close. The following extracts from a letter, addressed by Washington to General Knox, show the views of the Commanders of the American and French allied armies, in entering upon the campaign of 1781.
