The Battle of Saratoga was significant because it was a physical and moral victory. With the colonists winning this battle, patriots had a better mindset and gained foreign assistance to win their independence. After this battle, the colonists fought hard and persevered, and they were later rewarded with the USA as an independent territory from Britain.
