The Battle of Harlem Heights

The battle of harlem heights saw the american army flee north, up the west side of manhattan island. The british quickly proved that the forts probably weren't even worth it when they sailed a few test ships up the hudson to see if the artillery could stop them. Washington himself rode down to inspect the defences on november fourteenth but was carried away by his own enthusiasm and headed back north. General green got captured along with all their guns and supplies one day after washington left - though this is not the last mistake he is going to make.
