How did Washington used the element of surprise at Trenton and Princeton?

Washington used the element of surprise at Trenton and Princeton by executing stealthy night marches to catch British forces off guard. At Trenton on December 26, 1776, he led his troops across the icy Delaware River, launching a surprise attack on Hessian troops who were unprepared for an assault on Christmas morning. Similarly, at Princeton on January 3, 1777, Washington feigned a retreat, drawing British forces out of their defensive positions before launching a counterattack, which caught them by surprise and led to a decisive American victory. These tactics boosted morale and shifted the momentum of the Revolutionary War in favor of the Continental Army.

The area was first explored by the Dutch in the early 17th century, but it was the English who established a permanent settlement there in the late 17th century.
