Answer:

The correct answer is A. After early colonial losses to the British in New York, General Washington withdrew his troops to Pennsylvania.

Explanation:

The New York and New Jersey campaigns were important events early in the American War of Independence. With the landing of the British on Staten Island on July 3, 1776, the British gained control of New York City and surrounding areas.


The early campaign was a significant strategic and tactical success for the British and a clear defeat for the Continental Army. The British naval forces, led by Admiral Lord Richard Howe, and the British Army, led by his brother General William Howe, took control of New York City, its port and surrounding agricultural areas. They came to hold the city and Long Island for seven years, until 1783.

The Americans, led by General George Washington, suffered significant losses, lost vital supplies, and were driven across New Jersey and into Pennsylvania. But Washington managed to pull back the core of its army, avoiding crucial confrontations that could have ended the war.
