Saratoga Turning Point In American Revolution

Pow! Pow! Every soldier is looking for a safe place to use as a shield in order to stay alive, and away from danger. The American Revolution war began when tensions started to rise among the British authorities and the governments of the thirteen colonies (“American Revolution History”). This led to fights between the British troops that were stationed in America and the militiamen, which are farmers that fight in emergencies even though they are not listed in the military. After having many battles during the American Revolution, a turning point was finally made during the Battle of Saratoga. It was a major turning point that led the Americans to win against the British. Leading into the American Revolution, it began when the British

The British gained their reputation once again by having several victories. In May of 1780, the British had a victory in Charleston. In August of 1780, the British had a victory in Camden. These victories shifted the British people view on the British Army. The British people started to support the British in war, since they seemed efficient. Although the British seemed to have prosperous victories, their resources were running thin. The resources became thin after so much worldwide commotion, which stretched from India to North America.

The amount of New recruits for the British were declining as well, and the British Navy were at a breaking point already (Tonsetic 6-7). After the Battle of Saratoga, the British seemed to be changing rapidly with many victories, but that did not last for
