This article makes several points about what the Patriots had to suffer through when they lived in Brit-occupied territory, e.g., NY, NJ, SC,PA during the RevWar. Also, for any of you who live on Long Island or plan to visit, some nice preservations in Smithtown.

The Retreat from the Battle of Long Island (Brooklyn, really)
Smithtown, LI, is about 60 miles from where the Battle of LI took place, but what else would I use as a graphic for this story?
And, the Brits kicked our butts during this, but Washington learned a lot.
The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list...

We’ve been to the historic places in Smithtown. My sister lived there, we’ve been on the Island since 1980.
I love my Long Island, but these a@@hats in charge are forcing us to move.
I hate that!

I’ve lived on LI my whole life - only a few minutes from Smithtown for most of it. Been to the places shown above several times. There’s a rich, patriotic history here!
