Aftermath: Prisoners and Strategic Outcome
- When
- After July 7, 1777
- Where
- Hubbardton and environs
Captured Americans were sent to Ticonderoga; British troops went to Skenesboro, while the escaped main body enabled later American victories.
Many Americans taken prisoner at Hubbardton were marched back to Fort Ticonderoga, while most British troops made their way to Skenesboro to rejoin Burgoyne's army. The main body of St. Clair's troops escaped, eventually joining Schuyler at Fort Edward. Hubbardton was thus a British tactical victory but a strategic American one, contributing to later successes at Bennington and Saratoga.
