Granny Gates was a backstabbing political animal whose envy of Washington killed his career. He even tried to lead an officers’ mutiny after Yorktown. He was a petty man. Unlike Nathaniel Greene and Daniel Morgan, Gates deserves to be forgotten.
Funny, even when the NY Times writes about the RevWar, they get it wrong.
Both of the English-born RevWar generals, Lee and Gates, vied for Washington's command and did what they could to undermine him.
Charles Lee is buried in the Christ Church cemetery, Philadelphia, along with true RevWar heroes (I believe there are six Signers buried there).
