JF42 (talk) 21:35, 6 November 2018 (UTC). Armies - American Forces was commanded by Gen. George Washington and consisted of about 2,000 Soldiers. Coming here for the first time, and reading some of the history of this discussion, I tend to agree that the various significant published viewpoints (the measure in WP:NPOV) characterize this battle as an "american victory".

Johnson's calculation of British casualties - 14 killed and 157 wounded- reflects Kembles diary entry more accurately (although he mislaid the two mortally wounded). The Battle of Harlem Heights was fought during the New York and New Jersey campaign of the American Revolutionary War. Washington had all of his troops in the City on their way to Harlem Heights by 4:00 pm and they all reached the Heights by nightfall. Nachdem die Angreifer umgangen und langsam zurückgedrängt werden konnten, zogen sich die britischen Verbände vom Kampfgeschehen zurück und rückten ab.

After being defeated at the Battle of White Plains and later at Fort Washington, Washington and his army retreated across New Jersey, pursued by the British, into Pennsylvania. A comparable figure for the American side would include troops remaining in Washington's lines. [3] Nachdem die britische Artillerie die amerikanischen Positionen am Strand von Kips Bay beschossen hatte, landeten 4000 britische und hessische Soldaten auf der Insel.

Haploidavey (talk) 13:30, 5 January 2017 (UTC), The narrative in most recent edits was still seriously out of kilter with reference to the sequence laid out by Johnson, the cited source. The battle took place in the southwest portion of Long Island, New York. Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 ), under what weather conditions was the battle fought? [8] Aufgebracht überbrachte Joseph Reed Washington die Nachricht über die Demütigung, mit der Bitte, die zurückweichenden Amerikaner zu verstärken. He sent a party of New England Rangers under Capt. Appears someone is losing their temper here....you cannot seem to face the fact that it was an American victory, and you will be to stubborn to ever accept anything else, so I really see no point in any type of agreement with you here. This revision increased the American forces to 9,000 in the lead, though not in the infobox. 1800 Soldaten mehrere Verteidigungsstellungen im Norden von Manhattan gegen ca.
I don't find significant use of the term "american psychological victory" at all, or similar qualified representations. August 1776 schlugen britische Truppen unter dem Kommando von William Howe die amerikanische Armee in der Schlacht von Long Island. JF42 (talk) 15:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC), The information box evidently remains unresolved. Washington moved his army to the city in April and May, and slowly began to build fortifications. The Americans soon pursued and, during the attack, Knowlton was killed. [7] Washington erwartete einen Angriff und schickte einen Trupp von 150 Männern unter dem Kommando von Thomas Knowlton los, um die britischen Linien aufzuklären.

In terms of additional citations, I find american / u.s. victory used in these papers as well: also, I found that US President James Monroe was "appointed a lieutenant in the Third Virginia Regiment and participated in numerous engagements; severely wounded in the Battle of Harlem Heights" from the source: U.S. Congress, Biographical Directory of the American Congress, 1774–1949 (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1950), p.1576. As the query regarding this insertion has been pending for over three years, I think the reference to the hunting horns should be excised. As they approached, an officer accidentally misled the men, and the firing broke out on the British flank, not their rear. The battle went a long way to restoring the confidence of the Continental Army after suffering several defeats. Apart from being captioned "The Battle of Harlem Heights" and having the area of Harlem Heights marked in small print in the extreme upper right hand corner of the box, I am unclear as to why the map currently included.

When they reached the hill, the British forces received reinforcements; including some artillery. “Gone away” means that a fox is in full flight from the hounds on its trail. It also marked the first victory of the war for the army directly under George Washington’s command. Das Gefecht fand in Manhattan auf dem Gebiet zwischen den heutigen Morningside Heights und West Harlem statt. (Red4tribe (talk) 19:04, 12 April 2008 (UTC)), Judging from your partisan opinions, my guess is you are an ultra-patriotic, hardcore American who believes that every battle in which the British suffered more casualties and because of a few AMERICAN websites calling it an American victory it makes it so.

Type above and press Enter to search. As we can't be sure what the calls were or what their intention was, this is a fairly minor point. This quotation risks being unduly flattering towards Washington and does not add to our understanding of the battle.

The Continentals, who were in orderly retreat, were infuriated by this and galvanized to hold their ground. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Harlem_Heights. but from the larger perspective, it seems characterized as a victory.

I think that while it is technically true that the Hessians were involved, there's not much reason to separate them out from the British.
