The British attacked New York during the American Revolutionary War primarily to gain control of a strategic port and disrupt American supply lines. New York City was a vital center for trade and communication, and capturing it would weaken the Continental Army's ability to operate effectively. Additionally, a successful assault on New York would help the British secure a strong foothold in the colonies and potentially sway loyalist support. The attack culminated in the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, which resulted in a significant British victory.
