Best Answer

The early days of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) were dark ones for the rebelling colonists. General George Washington, Commander of the Continental Army, faced a larger, much better equipped British military machine. Looking for every advantage over the enemy, he relied extensively on the covert (secret) work of spies.

On Washington's orders, his second-in-command, Major Benjamin Tallmadge, set up a spy network in British-controlled New York City. The operation, known by the code name Samuel Culper, would be crucial in the winning of the war. Since they were spies we may never know who they all were.
