What happened on October 17, 1777

The revolution begins 9-11

1 answer

On October 17, 1777, the British Army, led by General John Burgoyne, surrendered to American forces at the Battle of Saratoga in New York. This pivotal moment in the American Revolutionary War is often credited with turning the tide in favor of the American colonists. The victory at Saratoga was significant because it boosted American morale and convinced France to formally enter the war as an ally of the United States, providing crucial military and financial support.

Regarding your mention of "The revolution begins 9-11," it seems there might be some confusion as the American Revolution started well before 1777. If you're referring to the September 11 date in another context, please clarify, and I would be happy to help!
