Answer:

The Battle of New York was a victory for the British.

Explanation:

With the British landing on Staten Island on July 3, 1776, the British gained control of New York City and surrounding areas.

The early campaign was a significant strategic and tactical success for the British and a clear defeat for the Continental Army. The British naval forces, led by Admiral Lord Richard Howe, and the British Army, led by his brother General William Howe, took control of New York City, its port and surrounding agricultural areas. They came to hold the town and Long Island for seven years until 1783.
