Question 5 • US History

What resulted from a missed meeting between British generals Howe and Burgoyne?

Answer
A
the surrender of Lord Cornwallis
B
the British victory at Saratoga
C
the surrender of General Howe
D
the Continental army’s victory at Saratoga

Explanation

Howe and Burgoyne failed to coordinate their campaigns, so Burgoyne’s forces did not receive the support they needed. The Continental Army defeated and surrounded Burgoyne’s army at Saratoga, forcing its surrender. This was the Continental Army’s victory at Saratoga, not a British victory.
