The '''Battle of Trenton''' occurred in the second year of the [[American Revolution]], [[1776]], when an overwhelming force of British soldiers routed the Patriots from [[New York]] and through [[New Jersey]] into [[Pennsylvania]].  The demoralized force suffered attrition from death, injury, and desertion.  Infantry enlistments of the early war had a single year duration, and thus many troops, defeated, were going home.  After the summer-long chain of defeats and hundred miles of retreat, new enlistees were unlikely.  The Continental Congress even fled Philadelphia, leaving everything in the hands of General [[George Washington]].
