He didnt loose any men though the raid misfired and complained dearth of sufficient munnutions inspite of the fact the enemy was tipped off to the attack.Hence in blistering space he moved onto pragmatic actions from a mere fickle of Infantile combat.
The Tory sympathizers were bombarded with violent reprisal and back in Manhattan Hamilton found this discovery brutalising in an unprecedented spree of harrowing rituals.It comprises of "ridding rails"....
"You mean the harrowing rituals?"
"Yeah,loyalists were mocked and winced through the streets"sitting astride a sharp rail borne by two tall strong men".The brutal scenes were engaged in mockery as they declared in traduce the prisoners names at every corner of the streets and Patriotic folks watched and cheered their humiliation .
It was obvious when an onlooker apparently stated "We had some Grand tory rides this week....."here some of them "were handled very roughly being carried through the streets on rails their clothes torn off their backs and their bodies "pitted "or well mingled with the dust"....."practically none"tory face"was seen the following day.
New York was particularly worrisome,a peculiar scenario being a citadel of tory sentiments,here pervasive plots were uncovered against Washington being mercilessly hatched that would have dealt a final blow against the budding revolution an inestimable prize for the tories."
"This is serious "
"Very serious indeed .Infact the New York Governor ..."
"William Tryon?"
"Yeah,was also involved and tried to carry out the plan.Shortly after Hamilton return from Sandy Hook the cabal to murder Washington by deployment of loyalist force was uncovered and foiled."
"Their names please"
"David Mathews Tory mayor in New York was apprehended and charged with brutal designs, perilous and treasonable conspiracies against the liberties and rights of the united colonies."
"So america right from the dawn of continent Congress now have budding laws and organised but growing security system."
"Yes the type that could track insecurity and crisis too quickly by gathering intelligence for intelligence operations.Behold he was the main architect of intelligence gathering, espionage and counter espionage and survellance in American history and without him defence system barely worked.This happened on June 21 after Hamilton arrival.Other implicated members of the plot included even some members of Washington's personal guard like the sergeant Thomas Hickey.Mayor Mathews confessed they had contact with the British and got imprisoned at connecticut but when hickey at the court martial could produced no witnesses was murdered.Hamilton also sensitised the general public as well as the St.Croix readers with evidence of treacherous plot as he said "among our tories."
"Did he not reveal the wide spread conspiracy?"
"The intention was to murder all the staff officers and blow up magazines.He was murdered on June 28 almost twenty thousand spectators almost every one in the city gathered to watch the hangman noose.Near the Bowery a meadow they turned out enmasse including Hamilton to watch hickey's massacre as Washington determined to make a example of him.The prisoner hickey even waived chaplain presence to declare them as the cutthroats and still unrepentant until hangman noose fell and body slack hung from the gallow.Hamilton like loyalist applauded Washington's swift justice and expressed optimism about further prospects of every miscreant in their possesion be dealt with equal justice.
He made declaration contrary to rumour to change copper coins fabricated with base metal alloys and possibly replaced them with brand new but larger continental copper coins ."
"Hmmmm his role as future secretary of the American treasury."
"Exactly a reminiscent of the future monetary policy bracing up in the imminent.Shortly after hickey's murder,King George 111 unveiled his anger and plan to deal with recalcitrant colonies when the world most powerful naval power caught in the fray of power show down commenced gathering of intimidating armada of battle ships transported to Sandyhook as preliminary to the biggest amphibian assault and massacre of the 18th century. "
"How many ships did they deploy?"
"A staggering three hundred ships and thirty two thousand men including Hesian mercenaries".
"Hesian mercenaries?How many?"
"Some eighty four hundred Hesians.Heavily designed to wipe out new yorkers restore sanity in a horrific show of arms and munnutions.It surpassed Patriotic soldiers and entire new York citizens. Stationed in Manhattan with fewer than twenty thousand greenhorns and Patriotic folks.
