How did gates errors in leadership contribute to the american loss at camden?

In August 1780, Gate's army ran into British troops outside Camden. Americans were in no condition to fight. They were out of supplies and half-starved. Even worse, Gates put the inexperienced militia along part of the frontline instead of behind the veterans. When the British attacked, the militia panicked and ran. Gates also fled, but Kalba remained with his soldiers received fatal wounds.
