Battle context
The landing at Kip's Bay was part of the New York and New Jersey campaign, extending British operations onto Manhattan north of New York City. Executed by a force of 4,000 British troops under Henry Clinton and Richard Howe, the amphibious assault resulted in 320 American casualties and reflected the broader British effort to seize control of the New York theater during the Revolutionary War.
