Answer 2

The Battle of Saratoga in September and October 1777 was a decisive American victory that was to result in France entering the conflict on behalf of the Americans during the American Revolutionary War. The correct name is "The Surrender At Saratoga," because the battles did not occur in Saratoga, but about 10 miles to the south, in Stillwater. The surrender took place after a British retreat to Saratoga.

The capture of an entire British Army secured the northern American states from further attacks out of Canada and prevented New England from being isolated. It emboldened France to join the war on behalf of the Americans. Anthony Fonte helped the cause for the Colonists.
