Evacuation Day, 1783
"[...]at New York, was in honor bound not to give up the City till he had provided the means of conveying away to places within the British possessions, all those who should decide to quit the country. It was not pure humanity, but shrewd policy as well, for the king, by his agents, thus to promote the settlement of portions of his dominions which were cold, barren, uninviting, and but sparsely populated.

THE DAY NEW YORK FORGOT
On November 25 1783, the British evacuated New York City after occupying the city for seven-years during the American Revolution. As Washington and his troops marched into Manhattan to take command of the city, both those who fled New York, as Washington did in 1776, and those who endured the occupation joyously celebrated his return, which for them, marked the end of the Revolution. Each year from there on, the 25th of November was celebrated as a day that would later be titled Evacuation Day. This work analyzes how Evacuation Day was celebrated from 1783 to 1883. This study examines the reception to each year's Evacuation Day celebration through a rhetorical analysis of local newspaper coverage of the event and argues that traumatic memory is very fragile and unless well-cultivated fails to transfer to from generation to generation-replaced instead with meaningless ritual and bombastic spectacle.

Evacuation Day
For New Yorkers, November 25, 1783 is a date of special significance that long rivaled the Fourth of July in engendering patriotic celebrations. New York City has the distinction of being the American city held by a foreign country for the longest time. From the summer of 1776 to the fall of 1783 the British occupied the city. After the British forces were finally defeated on the battlefield by the upstart nation, New York City would become their last enclave on American soil.
