Redcoats, The SOLD |
Slowly, methodically, the British stranglehold on New York City in August of 1776 tightened. Gen. George Washington and his officers planned to defend Manhattan block by block; but first they hoped to hold on to at least part of Long Island by constructing a stronghold around Brooklyn Heights and farther east on Gowanus Heights. Troops under Generals Israel Putnam and John Sullivan established defensive positions they hoped could at least bloody the British. The British moved quickly and efficiently, however, while the American dispositions were clumsy. Howe's redcoats and German troops deftly outflanked and routed the Continentals. Washington, stunned at the defeat, reportedly shouted "Good God! What brave fellows I must this day lose" as he watched his men fall dead or wounded.
