because Washington had them out numbered at some peninsula and the french had finally arrived and prevented them from escaping by water (because France had an awesome navy)

i assume a kid had a homework assignment and didnt want to look up the answer so they went here first like any normal kid does. i think it would be easier to just use your social studies book. ^thats a good answer though^

Answer 2

gen. b's plan in the battle of saratoga failed b/c two other british armies wer suposed to march to ny, ny and capture it, but they failed to make it there. the british thought that if they could cut New England off from the southern colonies, then they could stop the flow of suplies from these colonies to Washington's army in the south. they figured that the war would be over. the battle of saratoga was considered a major turning point in the war for the patriots b/c it convince the french to join in on their side. if the french hadn't done that, then the Americans would have lost for sure!

Answer 3
