Answer: Battle of Trenton.
Step-by-step explanation:
After the devastating losses in New York where the massive British armada imposed a humiliating defeat on the Patriots, General Washington knew a victory to boost colonial moral was needed. In this context, he led a number of 2,400 men across the icy Delaware River to the city of Trenton, New Jersey. Over there they surprised an army of 1,500 sleeping British soldiers and had a formidable victory. Only 2 of Washington's men were killed and 4 wounded. The unexpected victory at Trenton saved the cause of independence.
