Series 1: The Schuylers and the The BroecksEpisode III: The Battles of Saratoga

What happened at the Battles of Saratoga would decide if the American cause would live to see another day. If the Battles of Saratoga were won by the British, they could easily advance to Albany and take the city. If Albany was lost, New York as a whole would be controlled by the British, cutting off the Northern Colonies from the Southern Colonies, and effectively ending the war with a British victory. We’ll explore these battles’ importance, Albany’s involvement, and hear from combatants on both the American and British sides, like Philip Schuyler, Abraham Ten Broeck, Horatio Gates, Benedict Arnold, John Burgoyne, Baroness Von Riedesel, and Simon Fraser.

The importance of what happened on those battlefields was not lost on any of the men involved, but, as you’ll see, that didn’t stop them from getting embroiled in petty arguments within their own forces.
