In the Battleof Princeton, Jan. 3, 1777, Washington brought up militia to reinforce fleeing columns. Upon seeing the fleeing men, his own troops began to retreat. Shouting "Parade with us, mybrave fellows!" Washington rallied the militia and personally led them to victory against the rear of Cornwallis' army. The engagement followed by a little more than a week Washington's famous tacticalvictory at Trenton,serving to harrass the British out of New Jersey, and reinvigorate flagging support in Congress and throughout the colonies.
