Why was the long island battle so important in the revolutionary war?
The Battle of Long Island took place on August 27, 1776, very early in the war. The battle involved General Washington's American army trying to defend the important port of New York from the British. To shorten a long story, the Americans were nearly surrounded and were defeated. However, when it became clear that the Americans had lost and would be wiped out, Washington's army was able to completely escape during the night and fog after the initial defeat. What made the battle important was that it was the first large battle of the war, and, in fact, involved more soldiers than any other battle of the war. The British were able to eventually capture the strategically important city of New York and the Americans were forced to withdraw. Washington's daring night escape saved the American army- some historians consider this to be Washington's most brilliant maneuver of the entire war. Lastly, the Americans learned a lot from the battle, and Washington would change his strategies to better contend with the much larger and more powerful British military.
