	Untitled Document
		Major General Philip Schuyler, the architect of the victorious campaign, was condemned as a military incompetent, and possibly even a traitor, despite his acquittal from a court martial in 1778.
		When Schuyler was appointed by the Second Continental Congress on June 19, 1775 to command the Northern Department of the Continental army, [8] he “literally had to create and supply an entire army, and a navy to move it.” [9] Schuyler’s first orders from Congress were to organize an invasion of Canada.
		First off, the fort was poorly situated to resist an attack from the north, as it had originally been constructed by the French to resist an attack from the south (which it did gloriously in 1758.) [18] Secondly, the fort was in dire need of repair.
