Battles of the Revolutionary War

Question 13 • EAP-Virginia and US History A CR

Why was General Burgoyne’s campaign important for the British?

Answer
A
Winning in New York would mean France would support the British for the remainder of the war.
B
They wanted to cut off New England from the rest of the colonies.
C
The British wanted to cut off New York from Canada.

Explanation

Burgoyne’s campaign aimed to gain control of the Hudson River corridor and separate New England from the other colonies. British leaders believed this would weaken the American rebellion by isolating a major center of resistance. The goal was not to cut New York off from Canada, as choice C claims; the British were advancing south from Canada toward New York.
