Saratoga 250

The resources on this page were created for a teacher workshop held in November of 2024. The focus of this resource is documents and supporting materials related to the history of Saratoga in the American Revolution. 

The Battles of Saratoga were a series of engagements that took place from September 19th to October 7th, resulting in a siege and the first-ever surrender by a British army on the field of battle on October 17, 1777. The American victory at Saratoga was a turning point in the Revolutionary War, as it convinced France to ally with the United States, substantially aiding the eventual victory over the British. - From Battles of Saratoga 250
