To the above post,
Your mention of Schenectady is quite good. It leads me to ask you if you have read Howard Peckham's "The Colonial Wars"? If you haven't I definately recommend it.
As for the question of Revolutionary War atrocities, the examples already mentioned are good. I would add Arnold's burning of New London, CT late in the war. If you really examine the frontier theater of the war in depth you can probably find numerous atrocities on both sides (white vs. Indian).
I like the use of a quote by the great Ronald Reagan.
