Best Answer

Late on January 2, 1777, George Washington fooled Cornwallis by setting out campfires causing General Cornwallis to believe that Washington and his troops were camping out there. Then Washington left his fires burning (with only three people there to tend to them)and slipped behind British lines to attack a British force that was marching towards Princeton. There the Continental Army of Washington won another victory, at Princeton which lifted the hopes of patriots a little and then even more at Trenton.
