New Answer:

The Battle of Long Island, New York, was on August 27, 1776. George Washington commanded the American side, and William Howe commanded the British side.

The British forced the Americans from Long Island. However, when the battle was over, approximately 250 Americans were dead or wounded, and the British had approximately 400 who were either dead or wounded.

Although the American troops lost this battle, it was considered by some American Generals to be a turning point in the war.
