Battle of Saratoga

We visited the site of the Battles of Saratoga. There was actually several different battles spanning a 2 week time span. The battles took place in forests and wheat fields. The British were trying to cut off the states across the Hudson by capturing all the forts on the way south. The Americans would not stand for it and barred the British's path. The British set off to the west, hoping to crush the Americans. The Americans fought bravely and were finally victorious. The winning of Saratoga changed history, and the United States would be very different if the Patriots had lost.
