Howe took command of all British forces in America from Thomas Gage in September of 1775. He successfully captured the states of New York and Philadelphia.  But as this man made British win he make bad planning’s too and led to the failure of John Burgoyne's Saratoga campaign. , which played a major role in the entry of France into the war.

Some of his failure giving examples was his ways or strategies on attacking colonials. He ordered front assaults in the middle of the day with heavy artifacts and walking uphill. This weakened soldiers and with colonial strategies of surprise attacking make the soldiers losing easily.
