The British gain control of New York…

1777 CE

The British gain control of New York harbor and the surrounding agricultural areas, and will hold New York City and Long Island until the war ends in 1783.

The Americans have suffered significant casualties and lost important supplies, but Washington has managed to retain the core of his army and avoid a decisive confrontation that could end the war.

With the bold strokes of Trenton and Princeton, he has regained initiative and boosted morale.

The areas around New York City in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut will be an ongoing battleground for the rest of the war.
