As early as the Revolution, Staten Island played a major role in the worlds military conflicts. Soldiers of both the British Army and Navy were headquartered on Staten Island during the American Revolution. The Black Horse Tavern in New Dorp, as well as the Rose and Crown and the Fountain House, were occupied by the troops and their Tory supporters during the seven and a half war years that Staten Island was under martial law. During the Civil War, Union training camps popped up all over the island. The Civil War greatly affected the life of all on Staten Island. Economically, we suffered because business with the south was terminated. Staten Island ferries were even used in the Civil War. Our participation in World Wars 1 & 2 were not only in supplying troops but we had many residents employed in the shipyard and munitions factories here on the island. In one way or another Staten Island was effected by all the wars around the world.
