REVOLUTIONS

Saratoga
British General Burgoyne devised a plan and sent two armies south from Quebec with the objective of capturing Albany, New York; he led one of these armies.
On September 19th (1777) British General Burgoyne attacked the Americans at Freeman's Farm on the west bank of the Hudson just north of Albany. The rebel army was commanded by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold. The fighting was intense and although the Americans withdrew and the British controlled the battlefield at days end it was a very costly win leaving the already diminished British troops with even fewer numbers.
The Battle of Saratoga was actually two battles that took place 18 days apart on September 19th and October 7th 1777 on the same battlefield 9 miles (14 kilometers) south of Saratoga in upstate New York
