Answer 2

The Battle of Saratoga was a key success to America during September and October of 1777.

The British forces, lead by General Burgoyne, planned to move a large number of troops, south from Canada, heading through New York. These forces would then meet up with General Howe, moving north from New York City, and Colonel St. Leger moving from the east. The result of a successful campaign would be British control from Canada straight to New York City, isolating New England from the rest of the colonies.

The plan fell apart as soon as General Howe decided to move his troops from New York City, by sea, to attack Philadelphia. It is believed that if General Howe had moved his troops overland he would have been able to react and come to the aid of General Burgoyne.

Colonel St. Leger's troop movements were blocked at Fort Stanwix. The stalemate was finally broken when Colonel St. Leger retreated upon hearing that General Arnold was moving north into the battle.

The Battle of Saratoga was a great victory for General Benedict Arnold, who at the time was one of America's best generals.

American loses were less the 1,000, while the British losses were over 1,500 killed and 6,000 captured.
