“Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be an ugly brawl.” - Fredrick the Great of Prussia, 1740-1786

It has been stated that the Patriots had a “decided advantage” over the Loyalists the morning of the battle. Loyalist accounts suggest that “several” artillery pieces open fire as the charge the earthworks. One Loyalist account states, the Patriot artillery kept the Loyalists out of the earthworks that morning.
