Surrender of General Burgoyne, by John Trumbull hangs in the US Capital Rotunda. The Battles of Saratoga ended October 7, 1777 with the decisive American Continental Army victory over the British Army near Saratoga, New York during the American Revolutionary War. Here, British General John Burgoyne (in red) offers his sword to American General Horatio Gates (in blue). The scene suggests peace rather than combat or hostility: beneath blue sky and white clouds, officers wear their dress uniforms, weapons are sheathed or slung, and cannons stand silent. The scaffold offers and interesting juxtaposition, the two men framed in a square and their hands in a triangle, the union of matter and spirit, and the scaffold itself, an external structure supporting the development of a higher-level cognitive, social, or physical capacity, eventually becoming unnecessary once independence is achieved.
