I liked you mentioned about by cutting off New England the other states would not be able to send supplies (Which I forgot to mention). Good Job!

They didn’t think about how long the trip would take. They under estimated the colonists who cut down trees, burned crops, and drove off cattle. They did this before The British could get to the places they needed to go.

You had some ideas that I didn't think off.You mentioned that Britian cut New England off from the other states because the colonist wouldn't be able to communicate and their leaders would be seperated.You also had some other reasons why britian failed, such as only Burgoyne made it to Albany,Howe attacked Pennsylvania, and St. Leger was scared away from Albany because of a rumor Erin- I agree with you also.

This "cutting off" would make it hard for the other states to get Resources from New England and they would not be able to communicate.

If this works then they will cut off New England from the other states. They never made another plan if this does work. They just assumed that this would work. This plan required three armies to meet at Albany, New York. They did not realize that if the other armies could not make it then the plan would not work, they did not make another plan they only had one. During the journey with Burgoyne when they were victorious they would celebrate. They forgot to realize that, that was slowing them down and when they are slowed down the colonists have more time to prepare for them. While the British were celebrating the colonists were cutting down trees to block the roads and driving off cattle so the British will have no supplies." I think that you have a great understanding about what the British tried to do but the tried to take over the Hudson River Valley not the Hudson River. abby-”The British’s strategy was to seize the Hudson River.
