- Battle_of_Groton_Heights abstract "The Battle of Groton Heights (also known as the Battle of Fort Griswold, and occasionally called the Fort Griswold massacre) was a battle of the American Revolutionary War fought on September 6, 1781, between a small Connecticut militia force led by Lieutenant Colonel William Ledyard and the more numerous British forces led by Brigadier General Benedict Arnold and Lieutenant Colonel Edmund Eyre.In an unsuccessful attempt to divert General George Washington from marching against Lord Cornwallis's army in Virginia, Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton ordered General Arnold to raid the Connecticut port of New London. Although the raid was a success, the Connecticut militia stubbornly resisted British attempts to capture Fort Griswold, across the Thames River in Groton. New London was burned along with several ships but many more escaped upriver. Many received land grants in New York and Ohio after the battle as they lost property. Originally there was little resistance on the New London side but it has been discovered through first hand reports that resistance as the regulars landed was stiff, similar to that at Lexington and Concord in 1775. More than 400 militia organised during the raid on the New London side from as far as Lyme and Stonington but had no leadership as Col.Harris reportedly felt ill and rode off. Several leaders of the attacking British force were killed or seriously wounded, and much of the defending garrison was either killed, mortally wounded, or captured when the fort was stormed. High British casualties led to criticism of General Arnold by some of his superiors. The battle was the last major military encounter of the war in the northern United States, preceding and being overshadowed by the decisive American victory at Yorktown, Virginia, in about six weeks. At the battle of Yorktown Marquis Lafayette reportedly yelled "Remember Ft. Griswold!" as US and French forces stormed the redoubts.".
