The Battle of Saratoga

In October 17 of 1777  there was a big battle that made a big impact

and change in the battle of the Patriots with the British. Divide and

conquered was the strategy that the minister of the British presented

to invade America. They came down from Canada advancing down the

Huston Valley. As the troops came down, it came with their commander

William Howe. They were planing to bring troops and conquered New York

and New Jersey.

Unfortunately the british didn't know they would crash in a Patriots

trap. The troops crash together south at the town of Saratoga. 86% of

the Burgoyne's command were capture in that battle. The fight was

about 10 feet below the British. The Patriots victoriously won and

defeated the British.

This war battle a great importance in the revolutionary war. For that case this battle made the alliance of France been reviled in public. France had been supporting the colonist through the war, but they weren't recognize yet as an alliance. In that case Benjamin Franklin made a document that clears to show France as a alliance. This help a lot, for the reason soon Spain help, but it took alliance with France not the colonist.
