After failing to push through the American Lines, British General Burgoyne holds out for a relief force from New York City. Although the British attack Kingston, NY as a distraction, the Continental Army keeps its focus on Burgoyne's army. Finally, with no options left, General Burgoyne agrees to a surrender. General Gates agrees to generous terms, promising to send Burgoyne's army back to England. However, the Continental Congress refuses to comply with those terms and keeps the army prisoner for the remainder of the war.Visit my site at https://blog.AmRevPodcast.com for more text, pictures, maps, and sources on this topic.Book Recommendation of the Week: The Generals of Saratoga: John Burgoyne and Horatio Gates, by Max M.
