The Liberty Trail N.Y.

About

New York stood at the heart of the Revolution. Communities were divided between Loyalist and Patriot allegiances. Indigenous nations, fighting for their own sovereignty, chose sides. Patriots' desperate early stand at the Battle of Long Island fell apart and led to the longest British occupation of any major American city. Yet, their later victory at Saratoga secured the French alliance that completely turned the tide of the war. Throughout revolutionary New York, the fate of a nation hung in the balance. The Liberty Trail NY offers engaging, in-depth tours of sites related to the American Revolution.
