This Month in the American Revolution: Battle of Hanging Rock and Battle of Long Island

The War of 1812 is sometimes referred to as the Second War for American Independence.

These events took place this month during the first war for American independence.  I am thinking of moving the American Revolution from the Cooter's History Thing blog to here.
