Boston, Massachusetts (Breed's Hill) New York (Present-day New York City) Trenton, New Jersey Saratoga, New York Yorktown, Virginia Little known is the Battle of Valcour Island on Lake Champlain in the Fall of 1776. General Benidict Arnold led a rag-tag flotilla of gun boats to hold the British off and prevent the recapture of Fort Ticonderoga before the winter set in. This prevented the British from penetrating from the north and cutting off the New England Colonies; considered the heart of the rebellion. That combined with victory at Saratoga in 1777, also spearheaded by General Arnold's bravery, ended the British Northern Campaign; saving the Revolution. In WWII, the US had a policy of naming Aircraft Carriers after famous battles: Saratoga, Ticonderoga, Yorktown, Lexington, Bunker Hill..... British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said something to the effect that the US should have named a carrier "Valcour Island", because that was considered, by the British, a turning point in the war. Of course, due to the stygma of Benidict Arnold's treason, anything solely accociated with him is tarnished in the eyes of most Americans.
That depends really. At first most of the fighting was around New England but as the war progressed, fighting began in the south and British armies were landed in all of the colonies. Then as the French, Dutch, and Spanish joined the Americans, it became worldwide including places such as the coast of Europe and India.
You know all of the stupid battles your history teacher told you about, you know the ones you slept through.
Edit: Battle of Bunker Hill, Battle of Long Island, Battle of Saratoga, and Battle of Yorktown.
Most of the war was fought around the coastal cities of New England, in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York (notably Long Island).
However, there were British campaigns in almost every state, including northern Massachusetts (now Maine); the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes and southern Canada; and the southern colonies of the Carolinas and Georgia.
The Battle of Long Island, Battle of Trenton and Princeton, Lexington and Concord, Saratoga, Yorktown, etc.
