The Schuyler’s Saratoga estate was seized by the British army when Philip Schuyler lost Fort Ticonderoga. The estate was later taken back, but not before the British burned it to the ground. The loss of crops is the main source of the Schuyler’s financial problems. The loss compels Catherine Schuyler to demand that Eliza marry Henry Livingston.
