The Battle of Saratoga
First off, the British's plan was to take Albany, New York to try to cut off connection between the New England colonies and the middle & southern colonies. The British thought that taking Albany would keep the colonists from winning the revolutionary war, and they were right, at least about the colonists not winning the war part. the britishs plan went down hill from there. burgoyne started to come to albany from canada, but before he could get remotely get to albany, we cut down trees so that he couldnt get to albany.
Second, John st. leger is coming in from lake ontario were we led him to fort stanwix were we defeated him ruthlessly. Third, General William Howe is coming in from new york city. before he got to albany, he decided to attack philidelphia instead because it was the nations capital at the time. so howe captures phili, and burgoyne falls back to saratoga were we prove to the french that we can win the war, that is because we just won the battle of saratoga.
