In the muddy waters of Long Island Sound off the coast of New Rochelle, NY, low tide reveals a group of menacing and jagged rocks. Known as Execution Rocks, condemned Revolutionary War prisoners and Colonials faced death in these unforgiving waters at the hands of British soldiers. Chained here at low tide, fated prisoners slowly drowned as the tide rose. Later, in 1846 a lighthouse was built in this location. Many claim the sight is haunted. This phenomenon was explored during the series "Ghost Adventures" hosted by the Travel Channel.
This is just one of the many brutal things done to Americans during the Revolutionary War. After having learned this, what are your true feelings about this treatment of American prisoners.
