## Caption

Did you know that during the Revolutionary War, New York City was a safe haven for Tories – those loyal to the King of England? Featuring THIRTEEN's 1976 program Paths of Rebellion, Francesca Poliseno explores the forgotten history of British-held New York, which became a refuge for Loyalists fleeing the other colonies. This gave New York the highest percentage of Loyalists in the country, ultimately contributing more soldiers to fight for King George III than for General George Washington.
