    The Battles of Saratoga were a series of military conflicts fought during 1777 between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in North America. The Americans outmanoeuvred the British and escaped Cornwallis' encircling move, although the troops of Mawhood's two regiments must be considered the heroes of the battle. WINTER at Valley Forge was not a battle, but instead more of a boot camp.

    THE BATTLE OF TRENTON

    On December 26 1776, General George Washington had a master plan to get rid of the Hessions. He sailed across the Delaware to get his troops and canons to Trenton. It took a few trips to get them all to Trenton but it worked. Sadly, the troops were behind schedule. But Washington still thought they could get a jump on the Germans... And it worked! The Germans had very little time to create a defense. The Americans won!
