koban [17]

Fought eighteen days apart in the fall of 1777, the two Battles of Saratoga were a turning point in the American Revolution. On September 19th, British General John Burgoyne achieved a small, but costly victory over American forces led by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold. Though his troop strength had been weakened, Burgoyne again attacked the Americans at Bemis Heights on October 7th, but this time was defeated and forced to retreat. He surrendered ten days later, and the American victory convinced the French government to formally recognize the colonist’s cause and enter the war as their ally.

Importance of the Battle of Saratoga

The word Saratoga is shorthand for two battles that gave the coup de grace to the 1777 British invasion from Canada during the American Revolutionary War. After capturing Fort Ticonderoga with almost laughable ease, the British army, led by overconfident General John Burgoyne, crawled south at a tortoise pace, giving the rattled Americans time to regroup under Horatio Gates. To support him, General George Washington sent Benedict Arnold, his best infantry commander; Colonel Daniel Morgan and his regiment of Virginia riflemen and two brigades of Continentals from the Hudson Highlands. They raised Gates’s strength to about sixty-five hundred men. Equally important was Colonel Thaddeus Kosciusko, the Polish engineer, who built excellent field fortifications on Bemis Heights overlooking the Hudson River.

The British goal in the Battle of Saratoga was to control Upstate New York in order to isolate New England from the Southern colonies. While Burgoyne made his way slowly through the forests around Lake George, General Howe and his men, traveling North from New York City, stopped over to conquer Philadelphia before continuing north. George Washington’s army took advantage of Howe’s detour, beating a quick retreat to York, where they stopped Howe from meeting up with Burgoyne.

Did you know? To celebrate the American victory at Saratoga, the Continental Congress issued a proclamation for a national day "for solemn Thanksgiving and praise," the first official holiday observance with that name.

The Battle of Freeman’s Farm

On September 19, 1777, Burgoyne attacked. The fiery Arnold prodded Gates out of his defensive mentality, winning permission to lead Morgan’s men and Henry Dearborn’s light infantry into the woods to block a British flanking column. For most of the afternoon, a furious struggle raged around and across a clearing called Freeman’s Farm; Arnold poured in fresh regiments until the jittery Gates broke off the action, leaving the battered British in possession of the ground in what came to be known as the Battle of Freeman’s Farm.

The Battle of Bemis Heights

After fortifying his camp and waiting in vain for reinforcements from New York, Burgoyne attempted another assault on October 7, 1777. Ignoring orders from the jealous Gates to remain in his quarters, Arnold joined the fighting and led an attack that captured key strong points, forcing the British to retreat to Saratoga (modern Schuylerville). There, surrounded by a belated outpouring of militia, Burgoyne surrendered ten days later.ance to enter the conflict on the Americans side.

The value of the currency of Country X appreciates relative to the currency of Country Y. How will this affect producers?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

1. The correct options are:

Option A. Country X should specialize in automobiles and Country Y should specialize in aeroplanes.

Option D. Country X has both an absolute and a comparative advantage in the production of automobiles.

Option E. Country Y has a comparative advantage in the production of aeroplanes.

This is because of the opportunity cost and the production amount of the goods. It will be an asset for a country if they use small capital for the production of a large number of goods.

2. The correct answer is:

Option C) imports and exports

The balance of trade agreements wholly depends on imports and exports. It is the major element by which the trade deals are maintained.

The stability between export and import tells about the country's situation of being a trade surplus or deficit position.

3. The correct answer is:

Option D. tariffs and quota.

Tariffs are the tax implemented on import goods and quota is employed to restrict the quantity of a particular type of goods and services. The imposition of this acts as an economic blockade to trade.

4. The correct answer is:

Option C. by limiting consumer choice

Option E. by causing prices of domestic goods to rise

When boundaries like tariffs and quotas are executed then the price of the goods increases due to the limited quantity of the supplies.

5. The correct option is:

option B) Free trade agreements usually require countries to reduce trade barriers that protect domestic industries.

Free trade is opposed because it will lower the price of shipped goods from the country and will result in losses and a drop in the economy.

6. The correct answer is:

Option B. Kenya

The family should visit Kenya as the currency exchange rate in the country is the lowest as compared to other nations. Therefore, they will get most local currency in exchange for the dollar.

7. The correct option is:

Option A.Japanese importers of goods from the United States

Option E. Japanese tourists visiting the United States

The imports would become cheaper and more goods can be imported with fewer funds.

Japanese tourists will be able to enjoy more in the United States as the exchange price will favour them.
