In its American colonies, Spain helped the Catholic Church meet its goal of "converting natives to Christianity" although it should be noted that the primary goal of the Spanish in the colonies was to extract gold and other riches.
The colonies actually ended up winning the battle of Saratoga.... It DEFINITELY was not Great Britain that won. The Battle of Saratoga was known as the turning point of the war, when the COLONIES proved to the French that they could hold their own. This caused the French to fight with the United Colonies.
The states that gained statehood are Colorado, Arizona, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana.
