Indeed, what you said. Another incident and the possible consequences thereof would be this one, where Washington's life is spared by Capt. Patrick Ferguson, a sniper and firearms inventor.

Yes, and I've often wondered who would have taken over (both in getting the Americans extracted from Brandywine, and then later in the campaign. After all, Gen. Washington was extremely fortunate, losing battle after battle on the British road to Philly but escaping with his army largely intact (and, as the histories say after every battle, "but morale was still high.")
