How Did Burgoyne Invade Canada

The idea was to invade America first through what is now Canada. From Canada General Burgoyne’s troops would advance down the Hudson Valley into Albany where Sir William Howe would be with enforcements. Howe would move his troops up to Albany from New Jersey and New York. Burgoyne had a strong conviction that this strategy would not only isolate the New England colonies from the rest of the colonies, but would also enable the British to have control of the Hudson River which would dishearten the efforts of the Americans and their would-be allies. The Americans didn’t really have a big strategy but they did have the British beat in terms of number. Burgoyne’s plan was a very clever one and would’ve worked if the Americans did not outnumber him.
