The Culper Spy Ring was a crucial intelligence network during the American Revolution, providing George Washington with vital information about British troop movements. Established in 1778 under Major Benjamin Tallmadge, the network operated in New York City with key figures like Abraham Woodhull, Austin Roe, Anna Strong, and Caleb Brewster. They used coded messages, invisible ink, and pseudonyms to protect their identities. At the same time, thousands of American prisoners endured horrific conditions aboard British prison ships like the Jersey, where overcrowding, disease, and starvation led to a death toll of 8,000 to 11,000. Austin Roe, a tavern keeper, acted as the principal messenger for the spy ring, while Anna Strong helped deliver messages using a clothesline signaling system. Meanwhile, British officials profited from the suffering of the prisoners by falsifying records. The Culper Spy Ring operated successfully for five years, with no spies ever being unmasked.
