The surrender of General John Burgoyne to the American forces is a turning point in the Revolutionary War. British General John Burgoyne presented the divide and conquer strategy to the British Ministers in hope of invading America from Canada. October 17, 1777, General John Burgoyne surrendered to the American milita. General Burgoyne was sailing with his army to capture the American fort of Ticonderoga. He was threatening the American to surrender the fort, but they were anticipating General Burgoyne's arrival. The American stood their ground and began to fight. The British were outnumbered 2 to 1. Three hundred British soliders were killed including one on General Burgoyne's assistant, General Simon Fraser, and 370 were wounded.
