Untapped Cities examines Evacuation Day, a once-major New York City holiday that commemorated the British departure on November 25, 1783. The article explores how this significant Revolutionary War milestone gradually faded from public memory and what it reveals about how cities choose which historical moments to remember and celebrate.

Evacuation Day, New York City's Forgotten November Holiday - Untapped New York

Forget Thanksgiving; in post-Revolution New York City, the biggest November celebration was Evacuation Day. Observed on November 25th, this early American holiday marked the date on which the last British soldiers left Manhattan after the Revolutionary War in 1783.

ENG: This video illustrates US military interventions in Latin America marked by coups, dictatorships, and wars that benefited US Corporate economic and geopolitical interests at the cost of millions of lives.

From Guatemala in 1954, where the CIA overthrew an elected president to protect the multinational United Fruit Company, to the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, the pattern repeats itself: popular or reformist governments replaced by military dictatorships backed by Washington to secure foreign investment and control of resources.

In Central America, support for the Contras in Nicaragua and the Salvadoran army—including death squads—prolonged wars that left tens of thousands dead and missing. In the Southern Hemisphere, support for authoritarian regimes and the coordination of Plan Condor institutionalized torture and political assassination on a continental scale.

These are just a few examples. For decades, the United States acted as if Latin America were its backyard, building its economic hegemony on the exploitation of citizens and leaving behind a history of violence, chaos, and suffering that still marks the region today.
