			In 1777 at the height of the [[American Revolutionary War]], the Continental Army under George Washington's command suffered a chain of military defeats at {{Wiki\|Battle of Brandywine\|Brandywine}} and {{Wiki\|Battle of Germantown\|Germantown}}. Concurrently, General Horatio Gates achieved a {{wiki\|Battles of Saratoga\|decisive victory}} at {{wiki\|Saratoga County, New York\|Saratoga}}. At the time, Thomas Conway was serving as a brigadier general<ref name="Wikipedia">{{WP\|Thomas Conway}}</ref> under Washington and was deeply disgruntled at Washington's leadership. He took to venting his frustrations in letters to Gates, but when Washington learned of the correspondence, the commander-in-chief interpreted it as a conspiracy to oust him in favour of Gates. His reaction was aggravated by the fact Conway was not alone in his complaints; vocal criticism of Washington's military performance was widespread. Conway and Gates were compelled to go before the [[Continental Congress]] to clear their names, but in the end, Washington's supporters were able to rally around him. The episode ended with Gates apologizing and Conway being forced to resign. According to [[Assassins\|Assassin]] historian [[Shaun Hastings]], the entire incident was more of an "internal squabble" than anything involving a cabal.<ref name="DB">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' – [[Database: Conway Cabal]]</ref>
