Question 4 • US History

Which event resulted from a missed meeting between British generals Howe and Burgoyne?

Answer
A
the surrender of Lord Cornwallis
B
the surrender of General Howe
C
the British victory at Princeton
D
the Continental army’s victory at Saratoga

Explanation

In 1777, British General Burgoyne advanced south from Canada, expecting General Howe to meet him and support the campaign. Howe instead moved to capture Philadelphia, leaving Burgoyne isolated and short of support; Burgoyne’s army was defeated at Saratoga. So the event was the Continental army’s victory at Saratoga.
