What was the outcome the british were looking for from the battle of saratoga? the british hoped to cut new england off from the rest of the colonies. the british hoped to get the support of local native american tribes. the british hoped a victory at saratoga would make the americans surrender and end the war. the british soldiers hoped to gain access to an important trading route to get much needed supplies from britain.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
