The battle of Saratoga was the most important victory for the Americans. The British were planning to seize New York and separate New England from the other colonies. The 3 prong attack involved British units heading to the Albany area from New York City, Lake Ontario, and Lake Champlain. The nyc unit did not make it to the Albany for various reasons. The Lake Ontario unit was held up but rebels forts, local Indians, and the battle of Oriskany, which in reality could be more important than the battle of Saratoga. The last band was met by American soilders who defeated them. This major win helped recruit the aid of France, who was waiting for the sign that the American Revolution could prove succuessful if they interviened. What makes the battle of Saratoga most important is that the French then joined the Revolution, leading to the creation of the country we enjoy today.
