During the Battle of Rhode Island, which took place on August 29th, 1778, General Lafayette had been sent north to Boston, Massachusetts, to meet with Admiral D鈥橢staing and briefly meet with General John Hancock. Lafayette鈥檚 presence was required as a diplomat to coordinate the French alliance with Count d'Estaing. Despite Lafayette鈥檚 disappointment at having 鈥渕issed the action鈥 of the battle, he returned in time for the retreat, joining his troops in Tiverton, where they camped and regrouped after the battle.
