So they made their way to New York ahead of the British, in preparation they had constructed batteries on top of hills overlooking the town. Stirling, a colonial general was leading an attack on the British navy which had landed, but had to fall back due to being flanked from the left and behind. George Washington brought reinforcements to support Stirling’s forces, but they could not overcome the British so they had to retreat by crossing the Delaware river. Date of Battle( August 27-30 1776)]]> 2018-09-06 11:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355063 Identification of the American military leaders involved 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355239 American Military: George Washington, Lord Stirling, Officer Sullivan, Major General Israel Putnam.]]> 2018-09-06 11:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355239 Identification of the British military leaders involved 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355342 British Military- Major General William Howe, Clinton]]> 2018-09-06 11:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355342 Effectiveness of American leadership in the battle 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355467 Without the assistance of George Washington Lord Stirling’s forces would have been completely decimated. And they would have not been able to withdraw as many troops as they did, and quite possibly could have been captured themselves. ]]> 2018-09-06 11:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355467 Effectiveness of British leadership in the battle 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355590 That Howe was a very good leader and he had several regiments of troops, that flanked the American side which had ultimately forced them to withdraw from the battle. ]]> 2018-09-06 11:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355590 Effectiveness of the American use of resources (land, troops, weapons, ammunition, etc.) 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355670 The Americans had done really well with their fortifications on the coast. They had also constructed batteries along the coast on hills with the high ground, giving them an advantage. But they had also joined a losing fight at the time. And the Americans had roughly ten thousand troops and were outnumbered two to one. Both sides were equipped with muskets and bayonets, and many carried rifled weapons. And only 400 British were killed and 2000 Americans killed or captured. This proves that they should have not taken them head on and should have finessed on them. ]]> 2018-09-06 11:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355670 Effectiveness of the British use of resources (land, troops, weapons, ammunition, etc.) 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355860 The British utilized their resources to the best of their ability and won. They won using flanking strategies and tactics, rifled muskets, and 20,000 men. ]]> 2018-09-06 11:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355860 Effectiveness of the American strategy in the battle 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355936 They did not do well although they did have a very creative strategy but failed due to the frontal attack from he British with raw numbers, which they shouldn’t have attempted because they simply did not have the resources and men to fight them like this.]]> 2018-09-06 11:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278355936 Effectiveness of the British strategy in the battle 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278356014 The British could afford a frontal attack head on with the Americans due to how many resources they had. And had an effective flanking strategy which contributed greatly. ]]> 2018-09-06 11:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278356014 A one sentence concluding statement on the significance of the battle in the war. 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278356084 This almost cost the Continental Army the war, and morale was greatly decreased because of the outcome.]]> 2018-09-06 11:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278356084 Sources 1229905 https://padlet.com/1229905/7844t9qgs0tj/wish/278356142 https://www.britishbattles.com/?s=the+battle+of+long+island
