Howe abandoned Boston and took refuge in Canada. While George Washington’s

Continental Army raced toward New York, the largest invasion force in the

history of the empire stormed the shores of Long Island. After one disastrous

defeat after another, a desperate George Washington crossed the Delaware to

initiate and much needed victory that remains one of the most controversial

military assaults in modern history. On this episode we discuss the year 1776;

the Battle of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton and Princeton.
