In the space of one year, the Americans have lost one of their most prominent cities, New York, and their capital city, Philadelphia. American general George Washington makes a final push to retake Philadelphia, but the British retain control. Then, when the war of independence seems to be at its lowest point, an American force wins a shocking battle near Saratoga, New York. The victory earns a European ally for the American colonies. The Americans reclaim one of their important cities. And the British change their military leadership and their war strategy as the war moves to the southern colonies.
