The battle began badly for the Americans when Lee botched an attack on the British rearguard at Monmouth Court House. A counter-attack by the main British column forced Lee to retreat until Washington arrived with the main body.
President Theodore Roosevelt thought that the sinking of Maine was done by the Spanish fleet in 1898 February 15th.
