The Battle of SaratogaOctober 1777
• The Americans then launched a surprise attack, defeating Gen. Burgoyne’s forces which never received the reinforcements they expected.

The surrender of British General John Burgoyne at Saratoga, on October 17, 1777, was a turning point in the American Revolutionary War that prevented the British from dividing New England from the rest of the colonies and convincing France to join the war on the American side.
The central figure is the American General Horatio Gates, who refused to take the sword offered by General Burgoyne, and, treating him as a gentleman, invites him into his tent.
