Why did the British win the battle of New York

History
2 answers:
matrenka [14]3 years ago

Well, they outnumbered the Americans at the battle of Long Island by a good 10,000 soldiers, all in which were well trained, while the Americans were complete amateurs with little to no training at all.

At the battle of Kip's Bay (which is in Manhattan) a couple of weeks later the Americans refused to stand and fight, in which they ran away in the face of a charge by the British despite Washington's attempt to rally them.

The Americans held their ground when the British attacked at Harlem the next day, but it was a very minor and insignificant victory.

At White Plains in late October, the militia fled from the battle leaving the regulars alone.

Fort Washington, in November, was a complete disaster as the British captured 3,000 Americans due to quick planning by the American generals, and bad advice by Nathanael Greene.

I hope this answer has helped you, and I'm truly sorry if this answer has strayed from the right answer. This part in history is complicated and is very easy to mess up, just keep that in mind. :)

Which statements describe characteristics of complex villages? Choose three answers.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Complex villages were at risk for diseases.

Complex villages had artisans with special skills.

Complex villages stored food in buildings.

Explanation:

The complex villages were well connected and functioned as towns (though smaller), so being linked with the surrounding area and beyond led to risks of diseases.

The complex villages had permanent buildings, so this statement is not correct.

Complex villages had people specialized in certain fields, thus they had artisans with special skills.

Complex villages worked in a hierarchical manner, so this statement is not correct.

Having a relatively large population in small area meant that larger amounts of food are needed, which is why the food was stored in buildings in the complex villages.

bulgar [2K]
These countries were at war with each other, people of the U.S were very fearful during this time because of the threat of war and bombs planted in Cuba. World War 11 had ended years before So our country knew war as a way of life and they didn t want to have to endure that fight once again. The cold war was a time when all of these countries, especially the U.S and World War 2 was in a fight to be the biggest world power.

50PTS During the trial, Hathorne repeated many of his questions several times. Why do you think he did that? What effect do you
blagie [28]

I have no idea what book or story you are talking about, but based on my knowledge of Law... asking a person the same question over and over and cause a reaction in their fight or flight extinct, the person will start to become worried and they'll either start changing their answer or they'll break down completely. I'm guessing the when Hathorne asked the same question several times to Sarah, she started to get nervous.

I hope this kinda helped
