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 British won the battle with a great loss. The British took bunker hill from the Colonials but suffered 1,054 casualties (226 dead and 828 wounded) most of them being officers. The colonials lost about 450 with 140 being killed.
