📅 November 16, 1776 | 249 years ago today, General George Washington (Virginia’s own) suffered one of the darkest moments of his New York campaign at the Battle of Fort Washington.

Despite early success holding the Hudson River, the outnumbered American garrison of 3,000 men was overwhelmed by a combined British and Hessian force of 8,000. By afternoon, Colonel Robert Magaw had no choice but to surrender, and nearly 2,800 Continental soldiers were captured.

For Washington, watching helplessly from across the river, it was a devastating loss. Yet out of defeat came resilience, the Continental Army endured, regrouped, and would go on to victories that changed the course of history.

🇺🇸 George Washington’s story is Virginia’s story.

Leading up to the Kemp's Landing Skirmish and Battle of Great Bridge

Norfolk: the Key to Holding Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay

In 1775, Norfolk wasn’t just another colonial port... it was the prize. The eighth largest city in North America, Norfolk was home to about 6,250 people ( twice the size of Savannah, Georgia) and the biggest city between New York and Charleston. A thriving hub of trade, it connected the Chesapeake Bay to the interior and the Atlantic beyond.

Rebel leaders in Virginia and North Carolina knew that whoever controlled Norfolk, and the key routes at Kemp’s Landing and Great Bridge, controlled the only land access east of the Great Dismal Swamp, and with it, the flow of goods and power.

For the British, Norfolk was vital. It offered a secure harbor for warships to disrupt colonial trade and with nearly 40% of all goods from the thirteen colonies passing through the Chesapeake Bay, that meant controlling Norfolk could choke the rebellion at its source.

When Lord Dunmore lost control of Williamsburg, Virginia’s capital, he turned to Norfolk (a Loyalist stronghold) to reestablish royal authority and rally support for the Crown.

In 1775, whoever held Norfolk held the future of Virginia and possibly the Revolution itself. 🇺🇸

📅 November 15, 1775 | 250 years ago today, Virginia patriots clashed with British troops at Kemp’s Landing, just weeks before the pivotal Battle of Great Bridge.

Inexperienced militia attempted an ambush but fired too soon, giving away their position. Lord Dunmore’s trained soldiers countered swiftly, scattering the patriots and capturing leaders. Only one British soldier was wounded.

In the aftermath, Dunmore issued his famous proclamation offering freedom to enslaved people who joined the Crown—a move that deepened Virginia’s crisis and pushed the colony closer to revolution.

🇺🇸 America. Made in Virginia.
