Military Affairs The Two Phases of War The war, which opened with the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775, and closed with the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, passed through two distinct phases, the first lasting until the Treaty of Alliance with France in 1778, and the second until the end of the struggle.

During the first phase, the war was confined mainly to the north, The outstanding features of the contest were the evacuation of Boston by the British, the expulsion of American forces from New York, and their retreat through New Jersey, the Battle of Trenton, the seizure of Philadelphia by the British, September 1777, the invasion of New York by Burgoyne, and his capture at Saratoga in October 1777. and the encampment of american forces at valley forge for the terrible winter of seventeen seventy seven to seventeen seventy eight the final phase of the war opening with the treaty of alliance with france on february sixth seventeen seventy eight was confined mainly to the middle states the west and the south In the first sphere of action the chief events were the withdrawal of the British from Philadelphia, the Battle of Monmouth, and the enclosure of the British in New York, by deploying American forces from Morristown, New Jersey, up to West Point.

In the West, George Rogers Clark, by his famous march into the Illinois country, secured Kaskaskia and Vincennes, and laid a firm grip on the country between the Ohio and the Great Lakes.

In the South, The second period opened with successes for the British.

This very fact gave strength to them in the contest.

Whenever the British ventured far from the points of entry, they encountered reverses.

Burgoyne was forced to surrender at Saratoga because he was surrounded and cut off from his base of supplies.

As soon as the British got away from Charleston, they were harassed and worried by the guerrilla warriors of Marion, Sumter, and Pickens.

Three years of experience working for this organization, which is a long time in Calvary's terms.

Three years of knowledge and institutional memory of how the organization works, all the relationships she has with the gardeners and the volunteers that she works with across the 50-some-odd, 55 gardens across Saratoga County, Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady County.

Those are all relationships that she's built, not single-handedly, but she's been a part of building over three years.

And it's just like, well, good riddance, because in this one regard, you went too far.

Union work is hard work.

If anyone knows how hard, it is Lynn Madison and Stuart Whipple.

Lynn is the local president of one of the largest locals in Saratoga County and the Upstate Region 4.
