the outlook of the continental army—and thus the revolution itself—was bleak. "these are the times that try men's souls", wrote thomas paine in "the american crisis". washington's army had dwindled to fewer than 5,000 men fit for duty and would be significantly reduced after enlistments expired at the end of the year. spirits were low, popular support was wavering, and congress had abandoned philadelphia, fearing a british attack. washington ordered some of the troops that returned from the failed invasion of quebec to join him, and also ordered general lee's troops, which he had left north of new york city, to join him. lee, whose relationship with washington was at times difficult, made excuses and only traveled as far as morristown, new jersey. when lee strayed too far from his army on december 12, his exposed position was betrayed by loyalists, and a british company led by lieutenant colonel banastre tarleton surrounded the inn where he was staying and took him prisoner. lee's command was taken over by john sullivan, who finished marching the army to washington's camp across the river from trenton.
