New York
New York was the strategic prize of the entire war. The British held New York City from 1776 to 1783; the Patriot victory at Saratoga brought France into the war; and Washington's army spent its most desperate years in the Hudson Valley.
No state offers students a fuller picture of the war's complexity. New York City under British occupation became a Loyalist refuge; the Hudson River Highlands were the strategic linchpin Washington fought to protect; Saratoga was the turning point that made allied victory possible. The eleven towns in this collection span the war's full arc, from the catastrophic defeats of 1776 to Washington's farewell to his officers at Fraunces Tavern in 1783.
