Question

In august 1777 instead of sailing north on the hudson river general howe chose which surprising military strategy

Answer 1

The correct answer is He sailed to Philadelphia

This was surprising because everyone had expected that he would actually go further north and help general Burgoyne in Saratoga, but he managed to take Philadelphia which was a victory but proved to be bad in the end since the battle of Saratoga was a disaster for the British army without the help of Howe.
