Indeed, but I don’t think we’d have had much to worry about, Gates in command would’ve been a disaster, Arnold won Saratoga for him, and it helped that Burgoyne was utterly out of his depth, not without some talent but as soon as things went wrong he tended to lose the plot. All in all I’ve never been very impressed by Gates, from a British standpoint he’d have been an excellent choice.
