On this day in 1777,
British forces under Gen. Sir Henry Clinton occupy then destroy Patriot fortifications along the Hudson river valley. The small group of American soldiers encamped on one island destroys as much as possible of the unfinished fort and flees. British troops occupy the island for twenty days after The Battle of Fort Constitution.
And in 1780,
Loyalist militia, commanded by Gideon and Hezekiah Wright, run off Whig residents in The Battle of Richmond Town, SC.
