Fort Ticonderoga

the British forces were in good condition and by 30 June occupied the undefended Fort Crown Point. As he had planned, General Burgoyne acquired approximately 500 indians en route to provide scouting and intelligence functions within his expedition. On 2 July, his army began efforts to overtake Fort Ticonderoga, held by a small garrison under the command of General Arthur St. Clair. He was ordered by General Philip Schuyler to hold as long as possible, but the British quickly took the advantage and by 6 July General St. Clair had ordered a complete withdrawal. General Burgoyne’s troops pursued the retreating army, and several small battles ensued over the following days, including the Battle of Hubbardton and Battle of Fort Anne. When it was all finished, the British had received around 200 casualties. After leaving contingent forces at Fort Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, General Burgoyne’s army continued moving towards its destination, arriving at Skenesboro on 24 July. Here he acquired an additional 500 indians. They had proven invaluable in not only scouting ahead of the main…

How did a newly formed Continental Army that was outnumbered, with limited supplies and weaponry, defeat the most powerful military force in the world at the time? Fort Ticonderoga was once…

The Siege of Fort Ticonderoga British interests led them to Fort Ticonderoga on July 2nd, 1777, with the purpose of besieging the fort to reclaim it from the Americans. The British army consisted of 7,000 regulars, and 800 Indians/Canadiens; a significant amount of men compared to the garrison of 3,000 regulars at Ticonderoga. The British advanced and eventually set their eyes on the height of Sugar Loaf, and afterwards set up their encampment there, as the prospect of having a height advantage…

British officer, John André, about selling West Point both contribute to the story of Arnold’s cowardly transferring from American to British forces. Clearly, his motivations were his lack of appreciation by other militants and need for a lavish lifestyle. Even though Benedict Arnold won over critical battlegrounds and contributed to the progression of the Patriots in the beginning of the Revolution, there is no excuse for his impulsive actions and attitude. Once a traitor, always a traitor.…
