The New York Campaign is not a subject or title that is generally known to historians. Unlike the Saratoga Campaign, which is generally accepted and widely used, there doesn't seem to be any universal term used here. The U. S. Army history calls this the Battle for New York. The British, on the other hand, refer to it as the Occupation of New York City. Several history books I've checked have a heading or chapter title, but they all seem to invent something else. I've chosen this one from the introduction to a group of chapters in Ward's The War of the Revolution, but alternative suggestions would be welcome. Please add remarks or questions to the bottom of the page. Thanks, Lou I
This is a work in progress. I'll keep current a current status note here, and remarks at the bottom of the page. Current work is to get stubs and article titles in place for major events and biographies. Lou I 20:13, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I think that the New York and New Jersey campaigns should be split into two different pages, they were different events after all. -- YankeeDoodle14 00:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Doodle. While Boston did end in 1776, the campaign "season" begins in spring, which is when this article picks-up-- Shoreranger 04:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Pardon me. You are correct, I am in favor of keeping this page intact, and therefore do not agree with Mr. Doodle.-- Shoreranger 15:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I've reworded the intro to make the intended scope of the article clearer. There's much to be done here for interested editors: the Staten Island peace conference, the disobedience, capture, and possible treason of General Charles Lee, etc. — Kevin 05:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
I have a questions about the adverb "unwittingly" in the sentence "He unwittingly violated a cardinal rule of warfare and divided his troops about equally in the face of a stronger opponent." Was he not aware of the size or location of the British forces? Or was the division unintended?-- Molozonide ( talk) 16:43, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Why does it state 'United States' in the infobox? The country known as the United States of America was recognized after the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War. Shouldn't it be Thirteen Colonies? Also the article continuously refers to the Patriots as 'Americans'- were the Loyalists not considered American? Hoodinski ( talk) 10:56, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to suggest a more appropriate portrait of Lord Cornwallis be used than that chosen, which dates from 1795. During the AWI, rather than the portly old soldier shown there, he was a vigorous active officer, which made him one of the more effective commanders of the British troops in America.
