The Battle of Princeton

 The Battle of Princeton was a pivotal battle of the American Revolutionary War, in which General George Washington's revolutionary forces defeated the British forces near Princeton, New Jersey. The American victory at the Battle of Princeton was one of the most consequential of the American Revolution. George Washington and his soldiers marched north from Trenton and attacked a British force south of the town, demonstrating that his amateur army could defeat the British. Part of the battlefield is now preserved in Princeton Battlefield State Park, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961.
