During the Saratoga campaign, the Continental Congress played a vital role by providing supplies and support to the American forces.

Congress concentrated on organizing resources, finance, and logistical support for the men fighting the British, although not having direct command of the armed forces. The Continental Army needed this support to stay strong and resilient throughout the fight. The triumph at Saratoga not only raised American spirits but also attracted critical backing from other countries, especially France. The Congress's participation demonstrated its dedication to the American independence movement and the revolutionary cause.
