Seeking supplies at Bennington, Vermont, he sent Lieutenant Colonel Baum with a mixed force. However, contrary to Burgoyne's expectations, a large militia led by General Stark was waiting. The Battle of Bennington ensued, resulting in a decisive American victory, where the Americans captured weapons and supplies. This battle significantly weakened Burgoyne's army, impacting his campaign and boosting American morale.\nThanks to Google Gemini for helping research the subject matter and generating the illustrations used in this video.\nWorks cited\nBattle of Oriskany and Siege of Fort Stanwix - Revolutionary War Journal, accessed April 22, 2025, https://revolutionarywarjournal.com/battle-of-oriskany-and-siege-of-fort-stanwix-brutal-civil-war-that-helped-save-a-nation/\nSaratoga Campaign 1777 | American Revolutionary War, accessed April 22, 2025, https://revolutionarywar.us/campaigns/1777-saratoga-campaign/\n2>r?H/l3S'73b - NPS History, accessed April 22, 2025, http://npshistory.com/publications/sara/drr-saratoga-campaign.pdf\nBritish Begin the Saratoga Campaign - Americana Corner, accessed April 22, 2025, https://www.americanacorner.com/blog/saratoga\nBattles of Saratoga - Wikipedia, accessed April 22, 2025, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Saratoga\nBennington | Aug 16, 1777 | American Battlefield Trust, accessed April 22, 2025, https://www.battlefields.org/learn/maps/bennington-aug-16-1777\nBennington Battle Facts and Summary | American Battlefield Trust, accessed April 22, 2025, https://www.battlefields.org/learn/revolutionary-war/battles/bennington\nBattle of Bennington - Wikipedia, accessed April 22, 2025, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bennington\nBattle of Bennington (1777) | Location, Description, & Casualties ..., accessed April 22, 2025, https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Bennington-1777\nBattle of Bennington | George...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vHz7eJOctw9EkX92KRocNlRyCJm2i0Lzt2lBtgY_hxc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NmIw/NTcwYzhiMzAyOTNm/OGZjNzZjY2Y1YTNk/ZjkwNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
