## Resource

It was meant to be a swift, surgical strike deep in enemy territory. But for the American soldiers raiding Staten Island, the mission quickly devolved into a desperate, bloody fight for survival—not just against the British, but against their own countrymen. This is the story of the Battle of Staten Island, one of the most chaotic and overlooked engagements of the American Revolution. On August 22, 1777, General John Sullivan launched an ambitious amphibious assault that spiraled out of control. #AmericanRevolution #MilitaryHistory #USHistory #BattleofStatenIsland Thanks to our monthly supporters Dan
