It is characterized by two primary areas of activity. The first set of activities was based around the British base of operations in [[New York City]], where each side made probes and counterprobes against the other's positions that sometimes resulted in notable actions. The second was essentially a frontier war in [[Upstate New York]] and rural northern [[Pennsylvania]] that was largely fought by state militia companies and some Indian allies on the American side, and Loyalist companies supported by Indians, British Indian agents, and occasionally British [[regular army|regulars]]. The notable exception to significant [[Continental Army]] participation on the frontier was the 1779 [[Sullivan Expedition]], in which General [[John Sullivan (general)|John Sullivan]] led an army expedition that drove the Iroquois out of New York. The warfare amongst the splinters of the [[Iroquois|Iroquois Six Nations]] were particularly brutal, turning much of the Indian population into refugees. The only other notable actions occurred in [[New England]]. A combined American-French attempt was made to drive the British out of [[Newport, Rhode Island]]. The [[Battle of Rhode Island]] ended badly when the French fleet abandoned the effort; the failure did some damage to American–French relations. In 1779, the British established a base on the [[Penobscot River]] in the [[District of Maine]] with the intent of establishing a Loyalist presence there. The state of [[Massachusetts]] responded with the amphibious [[Penobscot Expedition]], which ended in complete disaster. The British continued a process of raiding the New England coastal communities. One such raid led to a [[Battle of Freetown|skirmish at Freetown, Massachusetts]], while others descended on [[Grey's raid|Massachusetts]] and [[Tryon's raid|Connecticut]] coastal communities. In the 1781 [[Battle of Groton Heights]], the British were led by Connecticut native [[Benedict Arnold]], who did substantial damage to the town. ==British strategy after Saratoga== After Lieutenant General [[John Burgoyne]] surrendered his army following the [[Battles of Saratoga]] in October 1777 France entered the war, recognizing the [[United States]] and entering into a military alliance. France dispatched a fleet and army across the Atlantic to aid the Americans fighting for independence, in addition to pursuing military operations in the [[Caribbean]] and the [[East Indies]]. France also applied pressure on [[Spain]] to enter the war; although this did not happen until 1779, Spanish actions in other theaters further stretched British military resources. These strategic changes forced the British to shift their attention away from North America, moving troops, ships and resources to defend the West Indies, India and other colonial possessions, as well as guarding against the threat of a French invasion of Great Britain itself. In North America, the British withdrew from [[Philadelphia]] in 1778, and made [[New York City]] the headquarters for the North American theater of war. They then embarked on a southern strategy, in which they sought to gain control over the colonies of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[North Carolina|North]] and [[South Carolina]], and [[Virginia]], where they believed [[Loyalist (American Revolution)|Loyalist]] sentiment to be strong. This activity formed the bulk of military activity in North America for the remainder of the war, but actions and forays occurred from British strongholds in [[Province of Quebec (1763–1791)|Quebec]], [[New York (state)|New York]], [[Rhode Island]], and [[Nova Scotia]]. Following their consolidation after the Saratoga disaster, the British began recruiting American Loyalists and [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native allies]] in great numbers to make up for their lack of army troops, and dispatched them on what were essentially raiding expeditions against [[Patriot (American Revolution)|Patriot]] settlements on the frontiers. Using their naval supremacy the British also launched raids and amphibious actions against the [[New England]] coastline. ==American strategy after Saratoga== American military strategy widened to some extent following entry of France into the war. The states were still dominated by the larger British army, which kept the Continental Army on the defensive outside Philadelphia and New York. The British began withdrawing from Philadelphia early in 1778, and the arrival of a French fleet off Philadelphia in July increased prospects for offensive action. While these large-scale actions occupied the army, militia and settlers on the northern and west frontiers of New York and Pennsylvania had to contend with incursions by Indians and Loyalists organized by the British out of posts in Quebec. ==Skirmishes around New York City== {{See also|Whaleboat War|Forage War}} {{Campaignbox American Revolutionary War: New York City area 1778-1781}} Each side made probes or diversionary movements designed to keep the other side on edge and uncertain of its intentions. General Clinton sent troops to "clean out that nest of Rebel Pirates" at [[Little Egg Harbor]], New Jersey. In the [[Battle of Chestnut Neck]] on October 6, 1778 the British destroyed some American supplies, and on the 15th surprised [[Pulaski's Legion]] in the [[Little Egg Harbor massacre]]. Apparently as a diversion to draw attention away from that raid, Clinton also sent troops into northern New Jersey. During those movements, 12 companies of British light infantry led by [[Charles Grey, 1st Earl Grey|Charles Grey]] surprised and slaughtered a sleeping company of American dragoons in the [[Baylor Massacre]] on September 27. In May 1779 Clinton captured the outpost at [[Stony Point, New York]], which guarded one side of a major crossing point on the Hudson River. When he weakened this force to provide troops for [[William Tryon]]'s coastal raids, Washington devised an attack to regain the position. In the [[Battle of Stony Point]] on July 16, the fort was stormed and captured by [[Anthony Wayne]]'s light infantry. Clinton later withdrew his forces back to New York as part of the planning for the invasion of the southern states. Later in 1779, [[Light Horse Harry Lee]] led American troops in a surprise raid on [[Battle of Paulus Hook|Paulus Hook]] in present-day [[Jersey City, New Jersey]] that weakened British control of northern New Jersey. In early 1780, a British attack against an American outpost in [[Westchester County, New York]] resulted in about 50 American casualties and 75 captured in the [[Battle of Young's House]]. The last notable action in the New York City area was an attempt by the British to regain control of northern New Jersey in June by attacking the main Continental Army camp at [[Morristown, New Jersey|Morristown]]. The first British-Hessian thrust by [[Wilhelm von Knyphausen]] was blocked at the [[Battle of Connecticut Farms]] on June 7. A second offensive by Knyphausen on June 23 was halted in the [[Battle of Springfield (1780)|Battle of Springfield]] after stiff fighting when [[Nathanael Greene]] appeared on the scene with 2,000 troops. This put an end to British ambitions in New Jersey. On 21 July 1780, Wayne with two Pennsylvania brigades and four cannons attacked a loyalist blockhouse at [[Bulls Ferry]], New Jersey. In the [[Battle of Bull's Ferry]], the 70 Tories endured an artillery barrage and repelled all American attacks, inflicting 15 killed and 49 wounded while suffering only 21 casualties.<ref>{{cite book|last=Boatner |first=Mark M. III |year=1994 |title=Encyclopedia of the American Revolution |location=Mechanicsburg, Pa. |publisher=Stackpole Books |isbn= 0-8117-0578-1 |pages=119–120}}</ref> ==Coastal actions== {{Campaignbox American Revolutionary War: Northern coast 1776-1781}} The northern coast did not see a great deal of military action after 1777, although the British executed a series of raids against the coastal communities of Connecticut and Massachusetts, and there was occasional skirmishing. The arrival off New York of a French fleet in July 1778 caused a flurry of activity. Major General [[John Sullivan (general)|John Sullivan]] had earlier been sent to [[Rhode Island]] to organize an attack on British-occupied [[Newport, Rhode Island|Newport]]. The British [[Mount Hope Bay raids|raided his supply caches]], as well as destroying military defenses and significantly damaging several communities on [[Mount Hope Bay]]. Sullivan's efforts became part of the first major attempt at Franco-American cooperation after the idea of an attack on New York was rejected. Marred by bad weather and poor communication, French troops arrived but were not used, and the Americans, while in retreat after a brief failed siege effort at Newport, fought an inconclusive battle with British forces in the [[Battle of Rhode Island]]. General Clinton marshalled troops from New York intending to support the New York garrison, but he arrived off Newport after the Americans had been driven off. Clinton instead ordered these troops on [[Grey's raid|a raid]] (also led by General Grey) against [[New Bedford, Massachusetts]] and [[Martha's Vineyard]] in September. He also ordered [[Tryon's raid|a series of raids]] on the Connecticut coast led by William Tryon in 1779. The most devastating raid was [[Battle of Groton Heights|against New London]] in 1781, led by turncoat British General [[Benedict Arnold]]. In the summer of 1778 British military planners in London began to develop plans for a new Loyalist settlement in [[Penobscot Bay]]. An expedition was organized in early 1779, and on May 30, a fleet carrying troops and supplies left [[City of Halifax|Halifax, Nova Scotia]]. Arriving about two weeks later, the British established a series of fortifications on the east side of the bay. The State of Massachusetts organized an expedition to drive the British out with minimal support from the Continental Congress. This [[Penobscot Expedition|expedition ended in disaster]], with the entire fleet destroyed and nearly half the expedition's men killed, captured, or wounded. It was the worst defeat of an American naval force until the 20th century. Failure of the expedition was attributed to a lack of well-defined command between the land and naval components, and Commodore [[Dudley Saltonstall]]'s unwillingness to engage the British fleet that arrived in relief. ==Frontier war== {{Campaignbox American Revolutionary War: Northern 1777}} ==={{Anchor|Burning of the Valleys (American Revolution)}}Expanded Native American role=== In the aftermath of the Saratoga campaign, a frontier war emerged. Before Burgoyne's campaign, Quebec's Governor [[Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester|Guy Carleton]] had previously restricted their use in Quebec territory (which at that time encompassed the Iroquois lands that are now western New York, Ohio, and northwestern Pennsylvania). Carleton was, however, ordered by Secretary of State [[George Germain, 1st Viscount Sackville|Lord Sackville]] (who harbored an intense political and personal hatred for Carleton, and had denied him the command given to Burgoyne) to expand recruitment. This Carleton did, encouraging and funding [[John Butler (pioneer)|John Butler]] at [[Fort Niagara]] for the purpose. Some of these recruits joined Burgoyne, while others joined [[Barry St. Leger]] on his equally unsuccessful [[Siege of Fort Stanwix]] in August 1777. The bloody [[Battle of Oriskany]], fought mainly between Native Americans on the British side and Tryon County militia accompanied by some [[Oneida people|Oneida]]s, exposed fractures within the Iroquois Confederacy and marked the start of a bloody intra-Iroquois civil war. Although there were still tribal interests that wanted to remain neutral, vocal advocates of war, including the Mohawk leader [[Joseph Brant]], and the continued persuasion of John Butler (which included many presents and the use of liquor to weakening Native resolve), convinced many of the Iroquois, particularly the [[Seneca people|Senecas]] and [[Cayuga people|Cayugas]] to take up arms for the British. These forces were principally led by war chiefs leaders [[Cornplanter]] and [[Sayenqueraghta]], although Brant led a contingent of Mohawks and a small force of Loyalists known as [[Brant's Volunteers]]. Brant's recruitment of Loyalists sometimes put him at odds with the Butlers, who were also recruiting Loyalists for their [[Butler's Rangers|ranger companies]]. ===Raiding in the valleys, 1778=== These forces engaged in destructive raids on outlying settlements of New York and Pennsylvania in the [[Mohawk River|Mohawk]], [[Susquehanna River|Susquehanna]], [[Delaware River|Delaware]], and upper [[Hudson River]] valleys, known as the ''Burning of the Valleys''. These raids aimed to destroy farms and crops and disrupt the flow of supplies to the American forces. These operations were primarily under the leadership of John Butler, his son [[Walter Butler (Loyalist)|Walter]], or under the direction of one of the war chiefs. They were supplied by the British in Quebec and sympathetic Loyalist and Indian communities. These raids sometimes crossed into the territory of present-day [[Vermont]], territory that was formally claimed by New York but had recently [[Vermont Republic|proclaimed independence]] from New York after [[New Hampshire Grants|many years of dispute]]. The frontier settlers organized militia to defend themselves, and were supported by a few Continental Army Regiments based at [[Fort Schuyler (Rome)|Fort Schuyler]], [[Cherry Valley (village), New York|Cherry Valley]], and the [[Wyoming Valley]] (now part of Pennsylvania but then disputed between that state and [[Connecticut]]). These defenses were largely ineffective at preventing the raiders from acting, but communities were sometimes warned of impending attacks by friendly [[Oneida people|Oneidas]], most of whom sided with the Americans. In 1778, Brant recruited [[Brant's Volunteers|a mixed force]] of Loyalists and Iroquois, and started his frontier raids with an [[Battle of Cobleskill|attack]] on [[Cobleskill (village), New York|Cobleskill, New York]] in May 1778, and the Senecas operated in the Susquehanna River valley, driving settlers out of present-day [[Lycoming County, Pennsylvania]] in a series of actions that became known as the [[Big Runaway]]. The Butlers and Senecas joined forces in early July to [[Battle of Wyoming|attack the Wyoming Valley]]. Although Brant was not present, atrocities claimed to have been committed there contributed to his reputation as a "monster", and the Seneca were outraged at false accusations that they had committed atrocities. Brant joined forces with some of [[Butler's Rangers]] to [[Attack on German Flatts (1778)|attack German Flatts]] in early September. New York authorities responded to Brant's activities by [[Raid on Unadilla and Onaquaga|destroying]] the Indian towns of [[Unadilla (village), New York|Unadilla]] and [[Onaquaga]] in October; those towns had been used by Brant and the Butlers as bases of operation. Brant, the Butlers and some Senecas joined forces to take revenge by participating in [[Cherry Valley massacre|a major attack]] on [[Cherry Valley (village), New York|Cherry Valley]] in early November in which as many as 30 non-combatants were slaughtered in the aftermath. British forces from the [[Montreal]] area led by Major [[Christopher Carleton]] [[Carleton's Raid (1778)|raided]] communities in the upper Hudson River valley in October. ===Sullivan expedition, 1779=== The brutal frontier warfare led to calls in the Continental Congress for the army to take an active role. In 1779, Washington sent General [[John Sullivan (general)|John Sullivan]] on [[Sullivan Expedition|a punitive expedition]] to suppress Indian attacks. Sullivan and his troops systematically destroyed evacuated Iroquois villages, successfully driving the Iroquois north into Quebec. In the only major action in that expedition, Sullivan's forces defeated those of the Butlers and Brant in the [[Battle of Newtown]]. Brant led raids that specifically targeted the villages of the Oneida and the [[Tuscarora people|Tuscarora]], who also supported the American cause. This destruction of Indian villages on both sides effectively depopulated much of the Iroquois territory as the survivors of the raids became refugees, but Sullivan's expedition failed in its objective of stopping or reducing the frequency of frontier attacks. In April, a few months prior to the Sullivan Expedition, American [[Goose Van Schaick|Colonel Van Schaick]] led an expedition of over 500 soldiers against the [[Onondaga Indians|Onondagas]], destroying several villages.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/fost/historyculture/the-van-schaick-expedition-april-1779.htm|title = The van Schaick Expedition - April 1779 - Fort Stanwix National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)}}</ref> ===Raiding continues=== {{Expand section|date=June 2009}} The Butlers continued to attack New York frontier areas while Brant became more active on the [[Western theater of the American Revolutionary War|western front]].
