 Read the Prologue of The Battle for New York by Barnet Schecter
By 1776, New York felt comfortable and familiar to them, offering the perfect mix of urban and rural pleasures: a cosmopolitan town with a full schedule of glittering social events either at the fine houses and taverns or at the exquisite country estates a short carriage ride to the north.
In the battle for New York, the struggle on this interior landscape—the difficult and, in some cases, agonizing choice between king and country in the conscience of each individual—had its roots in political and religious conflicts that dated back to the founding of the colonies, and which came to a head in the 1750s.
For a brief moment, however, in November of that year—after New York’s polite petitions to the king, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons were ignored—the city’s residents, dockhands and merchant princes alike, came together and took to the streets.
