NYC Burns and a Patriot is Murdered by the British - American Revolution - 1776
The American Revolution's Battle for New York continued with the Great Fire of 1776. On the night of September 21, more than 25% of the town was destroyed in the fire. Who set it and why?
While the fire burned, the British captured an American patriot, deemed a spy, and hanged him. Nathan Hale.
