In 1777, a pivotal year during the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army achieved a significant victory at the Battle of Saratoga in October, which is often considered the turning point of the war. This victory convinced France to enter the war as an ally of the American colonies, providing crucial military support. Additionally, the Articles of Confederation were adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777, laying the groundwork for the future governance of the United States. The year was marked by both military struggles and political developments that shaped the course of American history.
In 1777, the commander of the Continental Army was General George Washington. He led the army during key battles of the American Revolutionary War, including the pivotal victory at the Battle of Saratoga, which was crucial for gaining French support for the American cause. Washington's leadership and strategic decisions were instrumental in the overall success of the Continental Army during this period.
