400 American Soldiers 600 British Soldiers
The Battle of Ridgefield lasted one day,
April 27, 1777. The Battle of Saratoga lasted
three months, but also took place in 1777. In the Battle of Ridgefield,
General Wooster was killed, which was a blow to the colonists. In the Battle
of Saratoga, 1000 soldiers died. In both cases, however, the Colonists were
victorious against Britain.
Both battles were fought in the northeast section of what is now the
United States. Benedict Arnold was involved in both battles.
