The British captured New York city in 1776 and Philadelphia in 1777 controlling two of the most important cities in the colonies. When the British marched on Albany poor coordination would halt their forward aggression giving the patriotic army the ability to capture the British at the Battle of Saratoga.// ||  ||
 * //The Homefront://

(Note: this should be one of the longer sections -- recall that the AP people rarely test on battles, but spend lots of time on the homefront!) ||  ||
 * //Peace Treaty/Settlement: The Treat of Paris// ||  ||
 * //Long Term Outcomes/Implications of War: The British would now recognize the American Colonists as a country of their own. The British ceded all Native American land between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River to the United States. This would give America conflict down the road with the Natives.// ||  ||
