As a type of study for the military campaign, we might take Burgoyne's campaign in the Revolution. From the textbook we may learn certain facts and encourage the pupils to group them as follows: _Burgoyne's Campaign._ 1. Conditions prior thereto: _a._ The British occupied only New York and Newport. _b._ They understood the natural highway that existed along Lake Champlain and the Hudson River from the Saint Lawrence River to New York. _c._ They resolved to establish a line of military posts along this highway. 2. Plan of Campaign: _a._ General Burgoyne was sent to Canada with 4,000 British regulars and 3,000 Hessians. _b._ Canadians and Indians to the number of 1,000 joined the troops under Burgoyne. _c._ St. Leger was sent to Oswego to descend the Mohawk, capture Fort Stanwix and join Burgoyne. _d._ Burgoyne was to go through Richelieu River and Lake Champlain by boats; thence march to New York by land. 3. American Troops in Opposition: _a._ General St. Clair with 3,000 men at Ticonderoga. _b._ General Schuyler with about 3,000 men on the Hudson. 4. Burgoyne's Advance: _a._ The trip to Ticonderoga made and the Americans dislodged from the fort. _b._ The skirmish at Hubbardton was successful, but the Americans were not captured, and the delay to Burgoyne enabled St. Clair to join Schuyler. _c._ The march to the Hudson was full of difficulties and discouragements: (1) Obstructed roads; destroyed bridges. (2) Inadequate supplies. (3) Deserting Indians. (4) Leaving a third of his troops at Ticonderoga. _d._ The Expedition against Bennington: (1) Colonel Baum sent to take supplies from the Americans there. (2) Met General Stark with a force outnumbering him two or three to one. (3) Rain delayed battle, and British entrenched. (4) Baum surrounded; his force captured or killed, including a relief party under Riedesel. _e._ St. Leger's Campaign. (1) Unsuccessful battle at Oriskany. (2) St. Leger retreated and disappeared from the region after a flight induced by a ruse invented by Benedict Arnold. 5. Burgoyne's Surrender. _a._ He attempted to cut his way through the lines of the American troops which surrounded him. _b._ Crossed the Hudson and met the Americans at Bemis Heights; defeated. _c._ Defeated at Freeman's Farm. _d._ Surrendered October 17, 1777. 6. Effects of the Surrender. _a._ Gave the Americans many arms and munitions of war. _b._ Gave the Americans greater confidence in themselves and their cause. _c._ Caused great discouragement to the British, both at home and in the colonies. _d._ Established the prestige of the American cause in Europe.
