The plan of operations of General Washington against the kings troops in New Jersey. From 18th December 1776 to 5th January 1777.
A map that details the events of the New Jersey campaign during the American Revolutionary War. This map, created by William Faden in 1777, depicts Washington's strategic actions against the British forces in New Jersey, including the pivotal battles of Trenton and Princeton.
At sunrise on December 26, 1776, Washington, aided by Colonel Knox and artillery, led his men in a successful surprise attack on the Hessians.
Washington returned to New Jersey on January 3, 1777, launching an attack on the British regulars at Princeton, with 40 Americans killed or wounded and 273 British killed or captured.
Howe retreated to New York City for the winter.
Washington took up winter headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey.
Strategically, Washington's victories at Trenton and Princeton were pivotal: they revived Patriot morale and quashed the British strategy of showing overwhelming force followed by offering generous terms, changing the course of the war.
