When did the battle of long island end?

The battle of long island is very important battle. Its so important because George Washington led them to a great victory. General Hayes told his British men to fire but the Americans never gave up. The last shot of the battle was shot by one of the patriots. The shot hit General Hayes in the chest and he slowly died. This is some important facts.Following the withdrawal of the British army from Boston on 17th March 1776, Washington in the expectation that Howe would attack New York which was held for the Congress marched much of his army south to that city. In fact the British had sailed north to Halifax in Nova scotia. It was not until the summer of 1776 that Howe launched his attack on New York.


Where did the Continental Army scored its first and much needed victory at?

Trenton, New Jersey was the location where the Continental Army won its first and badly needed victory. The Battle of Trenton took place on December 26, 1776.


Who was involved in the battle of Trenton?

They won the Trenton battle because George Washington planned a surprise attack on December 25, 1776. He chose that date because the Hessians would be having fun with their families and would not have as much people working on duty rather than on normal days when their are a lot of guards or soldiers on duty.
