In 1777 the Americans cut short a British plan to divide and conquer the
colonies. The British surrendered a large force to the Continental Army
after the battles of Saratoga in New York, but were able to capture the
patriot capital at Philadelphia.

On January 3, 1777 George Washington follows up triumph at Trenton
with a victory at the Battle of Princeton, New Jersey. Some 40 Americans

The American victory at the Battle of Princeton was one of the most
consequential of the American Revolution. George Washington and his
soldiers marched north from Trenton and attacked a British force south
of the town.
