Broad Street Incident

Since 1775

Broad Street Incident was a raid by the Sons of Liberty on June 6, 1775, in the early days of the American Revolutionary War. The raid was on the British soldiers' cannons, munitions and military supplies from New York City. A five-wagon British military supply convoy became a target for American patriots shortly after the outbreak of the Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775.
