OP-ED Atlantic Yards: A new Battle of Brooklyn By Joe Ferris for The Brooklyn Papers On Aug. 27, 1776, the Bat- tle of Brooklyn, the first and largest in the War of Indepen- dence, was fought right here in what are now the streets of Gowanus, Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery. All too few Brooklynites are aware that their fate — and the fate of our fledgling republic — hung in the bal- ance on that historic day. Gen- eral Howe and Lord Howe had brought the entire British Army and Navy to New York and were determined to crush the American rebellion. Thirty thousand well- trained and equipped troops of the superpower of its day were arrayed against Wash- ington’s army of 11,000 colo- nial soldiers, state militiamen and ordinary citizens who believed in the ideals of individual liberty and political freedom. The irony is that today, we are truly engaged in the Battle for Brooklyn. Mango / Greg The very liberties and political freedom that the Decla- ration of Independence pro- claimed and the blood and sacrifice offered in the Battle of Brooklyn by patriots are
