The Battle of Rhode Island, also known as the Battle of Quaker Hill and the Siege of Newport, took place on August 29, 1778. Continental Army and militia forces under the command of General John Sullivan were withdrawing to the northern part of Aquidneck Island after abandoning their siege of Newport, Rhode Island, when the British forces in Newport sortied, supported by recently arrived Royal Navy ships, and attacked the retreating Americans. The battle ended inconclusively, but the Continental forces afterward withdrew to the mainland, leaving Aquidneck Island in British hands.
The battle took place in the aftermath of the first attempt at cooperation between French and American forces following France's entry into the war as an American ally. The operations against Newport were to have been made in conjunction with a French fleet and troops; these were frustrated in part by difficult relations between the commanders, and a storm that damaged both French and British fleets shortly before joint operations were to begin.
On May 4, 1776, Rhode Island became the first of the Thirteen Colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown, and later, was the fourth to ratify—February 9, 1778—the Articles of Confederation between the newly sovereignstates. It boycotted the 1787 convention that drew up the United States Constitution, and initially refused to ratify it. On May 29, 1790, Rhode Island became the thirteenth and last state to ratify the Constitution.
Rhode Island wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. Viticulture in Rhode Island began in 1663 when King Charles II of England included wine production among the land uses approved in the royal charter establishing Rhode Island as an Englishcolony. The modern wine industry of Rhode Island began in 1975 when Sakonnet Vineyards was established near Little Compton. Located near the Atlantic Ocean, Rhode Island has one of the most moderate climates of the U.S. northeast.
The Battle of Rhode Island was fought on August 29, 1778 during the American Revolution. It was fought between the American Continental Army and a combined British and Hessian force. Despite a tactical defeat, the battle demonstrated the strength and resilience of the American military and had a significant impact on the strategic situation in the region. The successful evacuation of American troops and supplies from the battlefield was a testament to the organization and discipline of the American military. Today, the Battle of Rhode Island is remembered as an important moment in American military history and continues to inspire generations of Americans.

(M. Boxer, T. Delillo, M. Epstein, W. Gottlieb, G. Levine, B. Rothschild, T. Weisbrot) Woke up last night 3 A.M. Noone around Must've been a dream Then I heard A most familiar voice In my head I didn't have a choice It said, "You better Hit the road Today, Before it's too late It doesn't matter what you need, You just have to find me" (Down to Rhode Island) You don't have to call (Down to Rhode Island) You don't have to write (Down to Rhode Island) Noone has to know (Down to Rhode Island) I packed my bags I got in my car I took all the back roads It wasn't very far I crossed the border To Rhode Island state And just leave to to me To just leave to to fate I walked in the bar, it was 3 P.M. When I walked in I saw My old friend McBain He said, "I'm so glad You made it, I guess it was Just fate" (Down to Rhode Island) You don't have to call (Down to Rhode Island) You don't have to write (Down to Rhode Island) Noone has to know (Down to Rhode Island) Providence!... (Down to Rhode Island) You don't have to call (Down to Rhode Island) You don't have to write (Down to Rhode Island) Noone has to know (Down to Rhode Island)
