Explain what America gains:

Battle of Saratoga was a major turning point in the war, as we won the battle. It pursuaded France and Spain to help fight against Britain with the Americans. This led to the Americans gaining significant confidence and advantages through the remainder of the war.

Soldiers began to die of disease, and lack of food. They had to deal with the harshness of the winter with no food, and minimal amounts of clothes available. They were able to slowly begin to train soldiers during this miserable time.

American troops were able to succesfully trap one of britains generals. They prevented his forces from fleeing by blocking their escape routes. Shortly after they forced the british to surrender.

The American people finally gained their full independence from Britain thanks to their allies and motives. The boundaries of the U.S. were extended to the Mississippi RIver, and went north bordering Canada, and Spain to the south.
