During the Revolutionary War, the British occupied Long Island for 7 years, longer than any other region in North America. Many inhabitants feigned loyalty to the Crown while quietly sustaining patriot networks, hiding supplies, passing intelligence, & protecting neighbors under suspicion. Their experience reveals a side of the Revolution that is often overlooked: living under enemy control.
