In the fall of 1777, a true turning-point in the war occurred with the American victory at Saratoga.

General John Burgoyne’s mission during the American Revolutionary War aimed to capture strategic locations in New York, particularly the Hudson River Valley. His plan was to divide the American colonies by cutting off New England from the southern colonies, thereby weakening the colonial resistance. Burgoyne sought to secure British control over the region, but his campaign ultimately culminated in defeat at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, which significantly bolstered American morale and led to French support for the revolutionaries.
