Why was New York City so difficult to defend against a British invasion? It had no established fortifications. It was surrounded

by water. It was difficult to maintain troops' attention in the city. Most colonists there were hostile to the rebellion.

Answer: It is surrounded by water on three sides. The royal navy was nothing to be messed with back then ( Still should not be taken lightly today)  This leaves the city to bombardment by cannons. If the citizens withdrew they would pretty much let the british in, if they stayed they risk being crushed or injured by cannon.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

If I were President, I would establish my plan with different congresspeople from both parties to gain their support and not lose the honor of the congress. The reason being that Johnson attempted to implement reconstruction in his own way against the will of the congress, believing that he would be able to finish it all and position southern congressmen before the congress came out of recess and back into action, which was his mistake, because as soon as the congress came back into session, he was defeated. I would compromise and assure them of my support while attempting to gain legislative approval.

Explanation:

This is my opinion only so please feel free to alter as you see fit.
