Descrizione:

New British strategy: Isolate New England from the rest of the country
Plan:
The British army marches up through New York
The British army in Canada comes down
Iroquois and British force comes in from the West
What goes wrong?
British general in New York decided to capture Philadelphia instead (fails)
For the first time, the Iroquois are divided because one of the members of their confederation had been converted to Christianity and didn’t want to fight the Patriots (leading to a weaker Iroquois force than expected)
