The American Revolution – 1776
The colonies suffered emotional ebbs and flows as the fateful year of 1776 unfolded. In the north the British army drove the American invasion force slowly back south. Henry Knox struggled over icy rivers and frozen terrain as he hauled his “Noble Train of Artillery,” south to aid Washington’s siege of Boston. When he arrived, Washington used Knox’s hard-fought cannon to force General Howe to abandon Boston. Elation swept the new nation as July 4 brought in the long-anticipated Declaration of Independence. Elation turned to despair as the British invaded New York and slowly drove Washington’s inexperienced army to the brink of disaster.
