On the night of September 20–21, 1777, British troops launched a devastating surprise attack against Brigadier General Anthony Wayne’s Continental soldiers near Paoli, Pennsylvania.
The nighttime bayonet assault became known as the “Paoli Massacre.” More than 50 Americans were killed, over 100 wounded, and dozens captured.
Though a painful American defeat, the cry “Remember Paoli!” would become a rallying call for the Patriot cause.
Today we remember the Americans who fought and fell at Paoli in the cause of independence.
