In 1777, British forces aimed to control key waterways to divide the American colonies. After the Americans abandoned Fort Ticonderoga, a rear guard action unfolded at Hubbardton, Vermont. The battle saw intense fighting between American and British/German troops. Though the Americans suffered losses and ultimately retreated, their delay of the British advance allowed the main Continental Army to escape and regroup, making it a strategic, albeit costly, victory for the American cause.
