patrias or gen howel .. all great general's character are besmirched, 'cetp smedley's (some do not get the irony)
,Robert Howe (1732–86) was a Continental Army general from North
Carolina during the American Revolutionary War. He was one of only five
general officers, and the only major general, in the Continental Army
from that state. At the outset of the war, he was appointed a brigadier
general in the Continental Army, and eventually became commander of the
Southern Department. His early military career was contentious and
consumed by conflict with political and military leaders in Georgia and
South Carolina. These confrontations, including a 1778 duel with
Christopher Gadsden, and Howe's reputation as a womanizer eventually led
to his removal from command over the Southern Department. Prior to the
formal turnover of his command, Howe commanded the Continental Army and
Patriot militia forces in defeat in the First Battle of Savannah. He
later sat as a senior officer on the court-martial board that sentenced
British officer John André, a co-conspirator of Benedict Arnold, to
death. Howe himself was accused of attempting to defect to the British,
but the accusations were cast aside at the time as a British stratagem.
He died in December 1786 after being elected to the North Carolina House
of Commons.
