The battle of Saratoga
This is about the amazing Patriot victory in Saratoga. The British wanted to cut off the Patriots but they weren't adapted to the forest in Saratoga, New York.
The Battle Begun!
Three days ago a historic moment in the revolution took place. The patriot army has won the battle of Saratoga. It stared on October 7th and has ended just 3 days ago on the 17th. Saratoga was fought in New York, The "master mind" General Buryane wanted to insulate the patriots troops from New England. But he was not used to the environment!
The Failed Plan!
General Buryane wanted to take over the Hudson bay to trap the Patriot army from sea escape. He would do this by having General Sir William Howe cut them off by having the British fleet surround the Hudson bay. But he disrespected orders and took his army to the Patriot capital of Philadelphia. Which also ended up in a loss for Sir William Howe.
The Aftermath!
This resulted in the death of 5,895 British or Hessian troops. After the terrible loss General Buryane was fought saying, "I was abandoned by a considerable part of my own army, totally unassisted by Sir William Howe." He also said "My nearest friends are being killed around me; and from these combined misfortune I had to surrender."
