Change "After Saratoga, the France and the rebels signed a commercial agreement and a Treaty of Alliance in February 1778." to "After Saratoga, France and the rebels signed a commercial agreement and a Treaty of Alliance in February 1778." 2.30.42.70 (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

  Question: What section is it in? Shadow311 (talk) 17:51, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
You could always use the editor to find the string in question, it was in the lead. Remsense 07:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

In the third paragraph, where it’s written “After Saratoga, the France and the rebels signed a commercial agreement and a Treaty of Alliance in February 1778.” change “the France” to “the French.” 65.36.78.165 (talk) 05:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

In the first paragraph,where it says: " 2600:100A:B10F:2653:0:55:72EA:3901 (talk) 20:38, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

OK, for some reason that didn't come out right. The sentence reads: "This lead to the Treaty of Paris." The verb should be changed to "led" because "lead" is present tense. 2600:100A:B10F:2653:0:55:72EA:3901 (talk) 20:41, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
  Done, good catch, thank you very much. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:48, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

This article gives short-shrift to the Sullivan Expedition of 1779 against the Iroquois Indians. The campaign occupied more than one third of the total number of Continental army soldiers and has been described as the most important military campaign of 1779. It other words, it wasn't a sideshow to the main events. I'll get around to remedying this problem -- if somebody else doesn't. Smallchief (talk) 11:38, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

You need first to show that it is seen that way in reliable sources. And how many continental soldiers were there during the campaign? TFD (talk) 21:25, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
