In 1777, George Clark raised up an army to fight the British soldiers and capture their posts on the Western frontier.
They traveled to Fort Sackville, a british post, after easily capturing Kaskaskia. When they got there, they took the British by surprise. The British gave up and surrendered.
This victory contributed to the war because it gave the Americans the land between the Great Lakes and the Ohio River.
It was a British fail because they surrendered, lost a lot of land, and made themselves look like cowards and scared of the Americans, even if they British had better weapons and better-trained men than they did.
