The Battles of Saratoga
The Battle of Saratoga (19 September and 7 October 1777 ) occurred during the Revolutionary War. An efficient and well-led American Army defeated the British forces led by Gen "Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne twice, andhe surrendered instead of fighting his way out. It was the single biggest British defeat until Gen Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown in 1781.
The British were unsuccessful in splitting the land by the Hudson, the Americans start to see how powerful they are, and the colonial army becomes much stronger with the help of the French troops, who help the Americans control the British fleet at Chesapeake Bay and defeat the British led by Cornwallis at Yorktown.
It was pretty much the battles of Oriskany and Benington. These battles weakened General Burgoyne's number of troops and sapped his stock of supplies. These battles also made Burgoyne flee to Saratoga where the Continental Army led by General Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold could close in on him.
