Editing Lake Champlain (section)

====Aftermath of 1777====
Following the failed British campaign led by General Burgoyne, the British still maintained control over the Champlain waterway for the duration of the Revolutionary War.<ref name=":1" /> The British used the Champlain waterway to supply raids across the Champlain Valley from 1778 to 1780, and Lake Champlain permitted direct transportation of supplies from the British posts at the northern end of the lake.

With the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783, the British naval fleet on Lake Champlain retreated up to St. John's.<ref name=":1" /> However, British troops garrisoned at Fort Dutchman's Point ([[North Hero, Vermont]]) and [[Fort au Fer (New York)|Fort au Fer]] ([[Champlain, New York]]), on Lake Champlain, did not leave until the 1796 [[Jay Treaty]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://lakechamplainlife.com/military-sites/ |title=Lake Champlain Historic Military Sites |website=lakechamplainlife.com |publisher=Lake Champlain Life |location=Alburgh, Vermont |access-date=July 24, 2017 |archive-date=July 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170702164154/http://lakechamplainlife.com/military-sites/ |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://dmna.ny.gov/forts/fortsA_D/auFerFort.htm |title=Fort au Fer |publisher=New York State Military Museum |location=Saratoga Springs, New York |access-date=July 24, 2017 |archive-date=August 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803041539/https://dmna.ny.gov/forts/fortsA_D/auFerFort.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
