SPMI individuals need somewhere to go where they can feel safe and can interaction with others. In the past SPMI Individuals in Saratoga County had the options of attending day treatment, going to a drop-in center called The Social Club, or spending the day being productive in a sheltered workshop environment.

There are many important events/wars that took place in North America, but the war that really caught my eye was the Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War was an major event that helped us as Americans gain the freedom and independence we have today. The Revolutionary War also helped sparked the Declaration of Independence. The Revolutionary War just didn’t happen out of the blue, of course their were some causes. The French and Indian

Professor Freeman, in her lecture titled: “The Logic of a Campaign (or, How in the World Did We Win?)”, talks about “logistical” problems that the British Army faced. First and foremost was the simple problem of supply and demand; regarding both fighting men and basic supplies. England was an ocean away and America’s

The Battle Of Bennington In the summer of 1777 British forces wanted to invade the newly formed colonies to isolate them from the New England colonies. The British had a campaign named the Saratoga campaign. The British used this campaign to stop the American rebellion. The Battle of Bennington was apart of this campaign.

generals and huge communication problem within the British army. General Burgoyne had to surrender his entire command at Saratoga to the American General Horatio Gates. When the British army lost this battle, they also lost all hope to end or win the war. After Saratoga, France decided to help aid the colonists, which ensured that they would win the war. If this British campaign was successful they could have possibly ended the war. This British failure can be blamed on logistical problems within

Before this area became the 20th District through redistricting, the 21st District that Paul Tonko represented included all of Albany and Schenectady Counties, as well as parts of Montgomery, Rensselaer, and Saratoga County (“New York’s 21st Congressional District” 1).

resulting in several lost battles; one being the Battle of Saratoga. To add insult to injury “occupation of the city [Philadelphia] did nothing, and only ‘short-sighted’ believed that it would; for that the legislators departed before Howe arrived.” Howe’s poor decision to take Philadelphia not only had no significant impact, but it also lead to the defeat of several battles for Burgoyne’s army. Furthermore, “collapse of the invasion [Saratoga] only… increased embarrsments of the ministry, [and] helped

Benedict Arnold will go down in history as one thing, a traitor. Benedict Arnold will never been known as a great pharmacist or a war hero because his betrayal of the Continental Army covered it perfectly. One thing made him famous, but it was not something you want to be famous for. I am not saying that he should be reconsidered as a war hero because he used his war hero status to gain power then plan to surrender the place he had control over. He abused his power and almost lost an important fortress
