022 The American Revolution: The Fall of New York City

In this episode we conclude with a British victory. Howe was able
to maneuver George Washington's forces out of Manhattan Island
and then across the Hudson River into New Jersey. While failing
to destroy the Continentals, Howe was certain the rebels were on
the ropes and could be dealt with decisively in the 1777 campaign
season. While Washington's army shrank before his eyes, with the
barrier of the Delaware River to protect him, he began to plan a
raid that would keep the British off balance into the new year.
