Trivia: What city did the British occupy nearly the entire war?
New Haven
Providence
New York
Philadelphia
The correct answer is New York
So why is this answer correct? : On August 21, 1776, British forces landed at Gravesend in Brooklyn, and in less than a month captured the port town of New York City by crossing the East River into Kips Bay. The British used the city as its base of operations, and stayed until the war’s end in 1783. The British also occupied Charleston, Boston, and Richmond for a time, but none nearly as long as New York.
