More than one historian has suggested that after the American Revolutionary War, the port of New York was the preferred one for the imports of British goods. For the British, Boston and Philadelphia was a sore point because of they were centers of revolutionary activities before and during the American war for independence. New York, on the other hand had been occupied by the British for a good part of the war. There, revolutionary activity was kept under check.

What was one recruiting method used by American colonists to enlist more slaves into the Revolutionary army in the war against the British?

The American Revolutionary War provided slaves with an incentive to join the fight against the British. American slaveholders were provided with incentives to allow their slaves the opportunity to become soldiers in the War, and to eventually gain their freedom. In the New York colony, 500 acres of land were offered to any slaveholder who allowed each slave to enlist for 3 years in the Colonial Army. For the most part, these slaves became freed men as part of their own compensation for fighting the British. The British also courted Black men into their ranks.

How did the French and Indian war lead to the Revolutionary War'?

After the French and Indian War was concluded, British soldiers remained in America, and taxes were imposed on Americans to defer the cost of the war. As the taxes were not exorbitant, I think it was the presence of the British soldiers which made many Americans believe they had become more American than British, and they should be a separate country.
