o Howe leaves Hessians in control of NJ o Washington gathers reinforcements o Thomas Paine’s Crisis serves as a pep talk to the troops o New Jersey

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; But he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

o Battle of Trenton o Washington surprises Hessians on 12/26/1776 with 2,400 (many w/o shoes) o Over 900 Hessians were captured. o 4 Americans killed o Morale of Patriots up

Washington Crossing the Delaware - E. Luetze

 Battle of Princeton (1/2/1778) o US attacks day after New Years o Patriots left their campfires for the British to see while they circled around the British troops, attack, and win

Battle of Princeton - Trumbull

o Battle of Saratoga, NY o British plan was was cut the colonies in two with 3 armies to Albany 1) Brits’ Howe stayed in Philly, watched by Washington at Valley Forge (brr) 2) Brits’ St. Leger defeated by Arnold 3) Brits’ Burgoyne defeated by Horatio Gates o All British fail o Turning Point - as a result of Saratoga, the French become our allies (the see the US could win)

o Valley Forge o US low on supplies o Washington’s men freeze, starve, and die of disease o Baron Friedrich von Steuben brought from Prussia to train troops - very effective

o War at Sea o Brits have #1 Navy o British Blockade Colonies - allow no trade o French bring Navy after Saratoga o No way US wins war without French help
