(c. 1727-1806) British-born American military leader. George Washington appointed him brigadier general in the Continental army 1775 at the outbreak of the American Revolution. In command of the Northern Department, Gates won a tide-turning victory at the Battle of Saratoga 1777 after several American losses and retreats.
Born in England, Gates joined the British army, serving in Nova Scotia, Canada, and seeing action in the French and Indian War 1755–60. After returning to England, he immigrated to the US 1772. Falling out of favor with Washington, he was dispatched to the South, where his defeat at the Battle of Camden in 1780 effectively ended his military career.
