Why did the British win the battle of New York

History

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.

The correct answer is C) wealth should be enjoyed by all Americans.

What Truman meant when he said “We have rejected the discredited theory that the fortunes of the Nation should be in the hands of a privileged few” was that wealth should be enjoyed by all Americans.

During his State of the Union Adress of 1949, President Harry S. Truman expressed the quote above. The economy of the United States was transitioning from a wartime to peacetime and people were demanding more jobs and the opportunity to improve their living conditions.

Harry Truman (1884-1972) became the 33rd President of the United States after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
