Best Answer

Ethen Allen and the Green Mountain Boys were instrumental in forcing the surrender of Ft. Ticonderoga and claimed all of the credit for that coup, although it should have been shared with Benedict Arnold's Continental Army forces. They played a minor role in other battles, but Allen spent most of the war lobbying New York for the independence of Vermont.

Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys captured Fort Ticonderoga very early in the Revolutionary War; one of the first victories for the Americans, and the cannon taken from Fort Ticonderoga gave the Continental Army an artillery force.
