Re: On This Day

They ate cake and she lost her head.

Oct.17 1777
British Army under General Burgoyne surrender to Continental forces at Saratoga to give American's there first big victory over regular Crown Forces.Huzzah! France would join the war soon after this battle and the British began to lose there focus in the colonies because it had to protect other interests in the world from the French.
