Discuss developments that occurred between 1778 and 1781 and explain how they led America to victory over the British
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Most students should start with the defeat of Burgoyne at Saratoga because it indicated that Britain might be unable to win the war. Better students will note that the American victory earned France's open support. It also encouraged Britain to implement its southern strategy that ended in disaster at Yorktown. The best students will conclude that in an immediate military sense, Britain lost the war because its naval superiority could not be effectively deployed.
