British General John Burgoyne led his Army from Canada to Albany NY. This is from the Battle of Saratoga. British wanted to seize the Hudson River Valley and divide the colonies in two. The original plan called for 3 armies to meet in Albany New York. 1. General John Burgoyne would lead a force down from South Canada 2. Barry St. ledger was supposed to move east from Lake Ontario 3. General Howe would lead his army north from New York City General Howe decided not to meet the other armies (he wanted to stay close to Washington); St. Ledger was defeated by Benedict Arnold at Fort Stanwix. General John Burgoyne's Army weakened by the rough trip and was defeated by Benedict Arnold and Horatio Gates at Saratoga. The Battle of Saratoga was considered a pivotal point of the Revolutionary War
