Actually, Benedict Arnold won it by forcing the victory at Saratoga and enticing France into the war. Without the French Fleet, the Americans had no chance of trapping or defeating a major English Army. A fact we learned in The War of 1812, which we were dumb enough to enter after there was no effective French fleet.
