Defending New York: The British Are Coming

The New York Campaign Begins With the Declaration of Independence now adopted, the focus shifts from Philadelphia to New York. George Washington faces an enormous challenge as the British assemble one of the largest expeditionary forces ever sent across the Atlantic. Watching a "forest of masts" fill New York Harbor, Washington must prepare defenses while knowing one difficult truth: a mobile enemy doesn't have to attack where you're strongest. In today's shave, we set the stage for the New York Campaign by looking at Washington's strategic dilemma before the first major battle around New York. Rather than trying to memorize troop movements, we'll build a framework for understanding why defending New York was such a daunting task.
