After the start of the American Revolutionary War, the British attempted a two-pronged military strategy: divide New England from the rest of the states by seizing the Hudson River, and occupy the south by driving the rebels out of the Carolinas and Virginia. Intent on the first, British General John Burgoyne led a force of eight thousand troops southward through the Hudson Valley towards the town of Saratoga, New York during the summer and fall of 1777. The American Continentals pursued, and on October 17, twenty thousand surrounded the British, leaving Burgoyne with no choice other than to formally surrender. This decisive victory at Saratoga helped persuade the French to enter the war in February 1778, providing the money, supplies, and troops needed to turn the tide to American victory. Due to the American victory at Saratoga and the escape of George Washington and his army to Valley Forge, the Continental Army survived to fight another year. *Includes pictures *Includes excerpts of contemporary accounts *Includes a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents
