Their first much needed victory was at Trenton, New Jersey. General Washington and his men marched nine miles through sleet and snow to the garrison held by the enemy. These were not British, but mercinaries, fighting solely for money. Germans paid by the British, Hessians. But they were lulled into confidence by the storm, and it was Christmas. So most of the soldiers, to put it honestly, got drunk off of rum. Most were still sleeping it off from the night before, and so the Americans launched a surprise attack on the ill-prepared Hessians. 30 of the Germans were killed, 918 captives taken, and 6 Hessian cannons were taken.
the Continental Army's first major victory was at the battle of Saratoga.

The biggest battle in the Revolutionary war is Richmond, because we got the largest British army in the continental United States to surrender and the biggest general to surrender also.The biggest battle in the Revolutionary war was the Battle of Long Island (1776). The British army outnumbered the Colonials 2 to 1 (20,000 vs. 10,000). It was just a month after the Declaration of Independence. The battle was also the first major battle of the war. It was this battle that made the Colonials realize that large scale battles against the much better trained and equipped British was a bad idea.
