The Battles of Princeton and Trenton were pivotal engagements during the American Revolutionary War. After a successful surprise attack on December 26, 1776, where General George Washington's forces captured Trenton, he continued the momentum by launching a second surprise assault on January 3, 1777, at Princeton. This victory bolstered American morale and reinvigorated support for the revolutionary cause, demonstrating Washington's leadership and tactical ingenuity. Together, these battles marked a turning point in the war, shifting the tide in favor of the Continental Army.
At Saratoga - General Horatio Gates. At Trenton - Gen. George Washington.

I don't really know but they got General Cornwallis to surrender by surrounding him, with a French Navy blocking off Chesapeake Bay and the Americans behind him. General Nathaniel Greene exhausted them by attacking, then running. The British plundered civilian homes and bad feelings soon arose.
The patriots achieved their victories at Trenton and Princeton with surprise. George Washington crossed the Delaware River to attack the Hessian garrison at Trenton. The Hessians were unprepared for the attack and were routed. When British General Cornwallis attacked with his army, in order to trap the Continental Army, Washington lit fake campfires in order to trick the British into thinking that his men were still in Trenton. Then, Washington secretly led his army north to attack Princeton, which Cornwallis had weakened in order to attack Washington's army at Trenton.
They lifted the spirits of Patriots at a time when some had given up hope.
They proved George's strong army and it would help them later,spirtually and for later battles.
