The Revolutionary War Ends...

Americans finally get freedom, the war ends with an unforgettable moment in history known as the Battle of Saratoga fought on the Hudson river in 1777 in Saratoga, New York. In this battle Lord Cornwallis surrendered to the Patriots. After they surrender they marched to Canada and left the land of the Americans. 
The British army was under the control of General Howe and Lord Cornwallis, they had a plan that was to create a surprise attack to the Patriots but the Patriots in that moment had a plan of their own. The British failed in other plans they had like for example the failure of the British to gain supplies or the Continental Army led by George Washington that prevented General Howe to join forces with General Burgoyne. 
This mistakes committed by the British made the Patriots take advantage of them and led them through victory.
