William Howe
At Saratoga - General Horatio Gates. At Trenton - Gen. George Washington.
The Battle of Trenton was a vital victory for the morale of the Continental Army. It showed the troops that they could fight and win a battle against European armies. The American troops gained faith in the commander, General George Washington, when many doubted that he could lead the Continental Army.
It was a significant victory of largely untrained soldiers under General Washington's command over highly trained German troops that were working for the British. It gave new energy and encouragement to the Americans, showing that they could win battles, and potentially the war. When General Howe went back to New York after defeating Washington, he left a large British force at Trenton, New Jersey, to watch Washington's army. (False)
