New England was the heart and soul of the revolution, Were New Bagland crushed, the rest of the colonies would almost undoubtedly be forced to yield. And, in 1777, the British set out to teolate and conquer New England. Their pian of attack was simple and promised to be tremendously effective. Sir John Burgoyne (variously known as “Gentleman Johnny” and “Old Elpow-Room") was to march south from Canada with sbout 11,000 British, Hessians, Germans, Cansdians and Indians. Gen. Clinton with another British army was to march north along the Hudson River from New Tors City. The two forces to meet at Albany. Thus the colonies’ territery would be.cut in two, New Mngiand left at the mercy of the British. For several reasons the pian failed. One of these reasons was that Clin. ton did not get bs orders from London in time.

His second in command was Gen. Benedict Arnold, who was destined to save his country at Saratoga, just as, three years later, be was to betray it at West Point. Gates and Arnold moved forward to check Burgoyne’s advance, The two armies clashed near Saratoga, Sept. 19, 1777. The Americans were . Griven back (at a loss of about 690 on both sides), and, but for the prowess ot Arnold and “Dan” Morgan of New York, Burgoyne must have broken through their entire line and could have advanced unhindered to Albany.
