Question 19 • 8th Grade US History & Geography A

Which of the following resulted from a missed meeting between British generals Howe and Burgoyne?

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

Explanation

Howe and Burgoyne were supposed to coordinate their campaigns, but they failed to meet or join forces. Howe moved toward Philadelphia instead of helping Burgoyne, leaving Burgoyne’s army isolated and vulnerable. The Continental army defeated Burgoyne at Saratoga, so the result was the Continental army’s victory at Saratoga.
