The Battles of Saratoga

STILLWATER, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- July 4 celebrations with fireworks are possible because of the booming sounds on a battlefield in the Capital Region back in 1777. The Battles of Saratoga were a turning point in the American Revolution, a crucial victory that changed the course of the war for the colonists and the world.    Garrett Cloer, Program Manager for Interpretation and Visitor Experience at Saratoga National Historical Park in Stillwater, says up to that point, "The war got off to a really good start. Washington pushes the British out of Boston but after that the British came back with the largest amphibious force in the history of the world. So, when 1777 dawns the British are planning to crush the rebellion and a lot of America would have thought that was going to happen."

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - The asylees recently arriving in upstate New York were promised housing, medical services, and other aid but some of those promises are falling flat.  New York lawmakers continue to chip away at the many legal barriers keeping migrants from finding work. Asylees in Albany want work, not a handout Many state and local officials like Colonie Town Supervisor, Peter Crummey, say that New York City and federal government leadership has failed the asylum seeker.“How would you like to be the folks on the bus shuttled around from all over the country for six to seven months and being promised something without delivering it, and then inserting this broken program on upstate towns and counties, figuring that's the way to lead and take care of these poor folks. It's wrong,” said Crummey.Since being transferred to the Capital Region from New York City about a month ago, these folks were promised housing, medical services and paperwork filing assistance.

Those events also will honor the military and those who sacrificed in other conflicts that helped preserve the nation’s freedom over its 247-year history.That is only one version of a “patriot.” Today, the word and its variants have morphed beyond the original meaning. It has become infused in political rhetoric and school curriculums, with varying definitions, while being appropriated by white nationalist groups.
