소개

호레이쇼 로이드 게이츠(Horatio Lloyd Gates, 1727년말 - 1806년 4월 10일)는 미국 독립 전쟁 중의 대륙군 장군이다. 게이츠는 새러토가 전투에서 대륙군의 승리에 공헌했지만, 캠던 전투에서의 대패에 대한 책임을 져야한다는 비난도 있다.

Horatio Lloyd Gates was a British-born American army officer and politician who served in the British and Continental armies. During the American Revolutionary War, he led the Continental Army to victory at the 1777 Battles of Saratoga. However, his career was subsequently tarnished when he was defeated by the British at the 1780 Battle of Camden. Gates has been described as "one of the Revolution's most controversial military figures" due to his role in the Conway Cabal, which attempted to discredit and replace George Washington as the Continental Army's commander-in-chief, along with his controversial actions at Saratoga and Camden.
