Question: The Raid on Alexandria was a British victory during the War of 1812, but by delaying the British forces may have contributed to the heavy causalities on them in which sea/land battle fought later that year?
Sentence (from "Battle of Fishing Creek"): British forces under Banastre Tarleton surprised the militia company of Thomas Sumter, killing a significant number, taking about 300 captives, and very nearly capturing Sumter, who some say was asleep at the time of the attack.
Relevant evidence: No
