The two Battles of Saratoga- which were fought eighteen days apart in September and October of 1777- changed the American Revolution. British General John Burgoyne was victorious over American forces -which were led by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold- on September 19th.

After capturing Fort Ticonderoga, the British, who were led by General John Burgoyne, moved south giving the Americans time to regroup under Horatio Gates.

General George Washington sent Benedict Arnold, Colonel Daniel Morgan and his regiment of Virginia riflemen, and two brigades of Continentals from the Hudson Highlands. Gates’s strength was improved by about sixty-five hundred men.

Burgoyne attacked the Americans a second time at Bemis Heights on October 7th, and Arnold led an attack that captured key points, forcing the British to retreat to Saratoga.

On this occasion, Burgoyne was beat and 10 days later he retreated, and the victorious Americans made the French government become their ally during the war.

Which best states how Southern voters managed to secure a Southern capital?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

They voted for Hamilton’s debt plan.

Explanation:

Initially, they voted against Hamilton's debt plan. Madison convinced Jefferson that allowing Hamilton's plan would give the central government too much power. However, Hamilton used the issue of the capital as a bargaining chip. His plan was eventually approved and the central government paid the debt by issuing national bonds.

Answer:

Frank Aretas Haskell was born at Tunbridge, Vermont, on July 13, 1828. He graduated at Dartmouth College in 1854, and went to Madison, Wisconsin, to practice law. On the outbreak of the War, he received a commission as First Lieutenant of Company I, of the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and served as Adjutant of his regiment until April 14, 1862, when he became aide-de-camp to General John Gibbon, commander of the Iron Brigade. This was his rank in the battle of Gettysburg. On Feb. 9, 1864, Haskell was appointed Colonel of the Thirty-sixth Wisconsin; and on June 3, of the same year, he fell when leading a charge at the battle of Cold Harbor, one of the most distinguished soldiers of the Army of the Potomac.
