Washington lost most, if not all of the major battles that he fought.
His opponent, General Howe, obviously had sympathy for the American cause, as he stayed the hand of destruction many times.
It was only when General Nathaniel Green was unleashed that victory favored us, ripping Tarlelton and Cornwallis' forces to tatters, giving us Yorktown.

His worst defeats were delaying actions around NYC, where, in each case, he withdrew in good form. I would attribute Howe's failures to incompetence rather than treason.
