abstract	In 1806, following the beginning of rebellion in New England, many New Yorkers in the countryside took to arms and fought off the British. The militias were organized and led by William Hull, a former soldier of the First American Revolt. He successfully defeated the British army at Saratoga and Ticonderoga, and used the cannons, artillery, weapons, and supplies taken from there to launch an attack of New York City. Francis Pickmore defeated the Royal Navy in the Long Island Sound, and Hull attempted to trap the British soldiers and their leader, Gordon Drummond, in Manhattan. After several flanking maneuvers and skirmishes, Drummond was forced to retreat into New Jersey and later by ship to Canada. After taking New York City, Hull declared the Republic of New York was independent from Great Britain. Disputes with New England over Vermont led to war in 1807. An army was sent under Peter Buell Porter and conquered the region unopposed, but he was defeated in battles at Bennington and Burlington, forcing the New Yorkers to retreat. A counterattack could not be launched because of a British offensive in upstate New York. Hull was killed in the Battle of Plattsburgh, sending the army into disarray. New York signed a peace treaty with New England, handing Vermont over to them. Porter became the Commander of the New York Army, and hoped to prevent the British army under the command of Drummond from reached Central New York. Porter learned that the British were attempting to moving through the St. Lawrence River Valley to take Ticonderoga, giving them a desirable location to commit raids of New York City. Porter rushed his army there, and on July 21, 1808, the Battle of Ticonderoga began. Drummond, overconfident in his abilities, led an attack of 3000 men on the fort without waiting for his artillery to arrive. Porter defended the fort for 3 days, causing over 1000 casualties and forcing the British to call off the attack. The British would not launch another attack, and in 1809 the Treaty of Halifax was signed, granting New York independence.
