Saratoga

Sunday, July 31

Saratoga National Historic Site is where the British were majorly defeated for the first time in the American Revolution. The general on the British side tried to get some soldiers to Albany, overtaking forts on the way. But they were stopped at Saratoga.
The Americans had cannons and gunmen on a big hill. The British knew that they went that way, they'd be ruined. They decided to fight the Americans in a different direction. The British general, Burgoyne, couldn't push through them and had to surrender.
