Years: 1776 - 1776
The British also take New Jersey, pushing the Continental Army into Pennsylvania.
Washington crosses the Delaware River back into New Jersey in a surprise attack in late December 1776 and defeats Hessian and British armies at Trenton and Princeton, thereby regaining control of most of New Jersey.
The victories give an important boost to Patriots at a time when morale is flagging, and will become iconic events of the war.
