maP 5.2 ThE amERiCan REVoluTion, 1775–1781 battles were fought in the colonies, on the western
frontier, and along the Gulf of Mexico. the major engagements of the first years of the war, from the spontaneous
rising at concord in 1775 to Washington’s well-coordinated attack on trenton in December 1776, were fought in
the northern colonies. in the middle theater of war, burgoyne’s attempt in 1777 to cut New england off from the
rest of the colonies failed when his army was defeated at saratoga. Action in the final years of the war, from the
battles at camden, Kings Mountain, cowpens, and Guilford courthouse to the final victory at Yorktown, occurred
in the south.
