John Burgoyne started out in June 1777 from Canada with practically the best equipped army, but ended up surrendering to Horatio Gates. Why?
a. His 7,000 troops moved slowely and were expensive to maintain. b. Burgoyne enlisted 500 Indians of the Iroquois (except Oneida and Tuscarora). They were not fighting for liberty or any ideals. They just thought Britain was a better bet for their protection. When the notorious scalping of Jane Mccray happened, the Patriots were quick to propagandize against the Indians and thus the British. c. Gen Howe was fixated on capturing Philadelphia and did not join forces with Burgoyne. d. Burgoyne, on his way to Saratoga, was inflicted heavy casualties by Daniel Morgan at Freeman farm. Eventhough outnumbered by Americans 2 to 1, Burgoyne pressed on and refused to retreat because of pride and hubris. e. All of the above
