How We Won Boston

My men raidedBritish arsenals (including some in the Caribbean) and some manufacturing was attempted; a barely adequate supply (about 2.5 million pounds) was obtained by the end of 1776, mostly from France (YOU GUYS ROCK). I reorganized the army during the long standoff, and forced the British to withdraw by putting artillery on Dorchester Heights overlooking the city. The British evacuated Boston and I moved my army to New York City.

Although negative toward the patriots in the Continental Congress, British newspapers routinely praised my personal character and qualities as a military commander. These were bold articles about an enemy general who commanded an army in a cause that many Britons believed would ruin the empire. My refusal to become involved in politics buttressed his reputation as a man fully committed to the military mission at hand and above the factional fray. Come back soon to hear about the battles of: New York, and Brandywine (no not the one in the Shire).
