The outcome of the Saratoga campaign led to a significant decline in British morale.

General John Burgoyne's soldiers were decisively defeated, which severely damaged British military strategy and leadership. It shocked both British soldiers and administrators that the Continental Army could win significant battles, as evidenced by their defeat. This defeat caused the British to evaluate their strategy and available supplies during the Revolutionary War. The British position was further complicated by the fact that the American triumph at Saratoga spurred foreign support, especially from France. Overall, British efforts were negatively impacted by the morale collapse for the duration of the conflict.
