Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Public Papers of George Clinton, First Governor of New York, Vol. 7: 1777-1795, 1801-1804 This volume of the Public Papers of George Clinton covers the period from June 1, 1781 to January 1, 1782. With it ends the Revolutionary series. The seven months included represent the gloomiest and at the same time the most glorious of the war. Strategically New York was the pivot of the Confederation; the Hudson river, as it were, the Keystone of the arch that held New England to the Southern States. Had the British obtained possession of this important stream, a separation of New York and New England from the rest of the States would have been inevitable. Washington´s policy from the outset contemplated the protection and possession of the Hudson, for in this success the solidification of Confederated interests was certain regardless of local prejudices and local dissensions. Washington for a long time had under consideration a movement against New York City. His interview with Rochambeau at Hartford in September, 1780, had that object in view, but his plan was upset primarily through Arnold´s treason. Washington, however, never relinquished his pet idea in spite of many discouraging obstacles. In the following May (twenty-second, 1781) he repaired to Weathersfield, Connecticut, to meet Rochambeau again.
