George Washington withdrew from Manhattan during the Siege of Long Island primarily to preserve his army after suffering significant losses in the Battle of Long Island. The British forces, under General Howe, outflanked Washington's troops, threatening their encirclement and potential capture. By retreating to Manhattan, Washington aimed to regroup and maintain the Continental Army's fighting capability for future engagements, recognizing that his forces were outmatched and needed to conserve strength. This strategic withdrawal allowed for a more organized escape and continued resistance against British forces.
