Battles of Trenton and Princeton - Ten Days that Turned the American Revolution

Battles of Trenton and Princeton - Ten Days that Turned the American Revolution

General George Washington’s army crossed the icy Delaware on Christmas Day 1776 and, over the course of the next 10 days, won two crucial battles of the American Revolution.  In the Battle of Trenton (December 26, 1776), Washington defeated a formidable garrison of Hessian mercenaries before withdrawing.  This was the Continental Army's first victory after a string of 17 straight defeats at the hands of the British Army.

A week later he returned to Trenton to lure British forces south, then executed a daring 12-mile night march to capture Princeton on January 3, 1777.  The victories reasserted American control of much of New Jersey and greatly improved the morale and unity of the colonial army and militias.

These two victories and a skirmish in between, were the confidence the Colonials needed to be able to continue their march to Independence against the formidable British troops and their King George III.
