Forts were fortified pieces of property controlled by the colonial armies in North America.

During the American Revolutionary War, the Assassin Connor captured the forts of the British Army located in Boston, New York, and the Frontier.

After destroying a fort's gunpowder reserves and killing its captain, Connor lowered the British flag in exchange for a Colonial one. By doing so, control of the fort shifted from British control to that of the Continental Army.

By liberating the forts, the trade routes in New England became safer for trade, as previously there had been a higher risk of losing trade vessels, such as convoys, to bandits.
