Descripción
Mrs. Schuyler burning her corn fields refers to an incident during the American Revolutionary War involving Catherine Van Rensselaer Schuyler, the wife of General Philip Schuyler. In an effort to thwart the advancing British forces, Mrs. Schuyler took the bold and strategic initiative to set fire to her own corn fields. By doing so, she denied the British army access to valuable provisions, illustrating the resourcefulness and sacrifices made by civilians during the war. This act of defiance became a symbol of the resilience and commitment of individuals on the home front to support the revolutionary cause, even at the expense of personal property. Mrs. Schuyler's strategic decision played a role in impeding the progress of the British and showcased the significant contributions of women in supporting the American war effort.
