the battle of trenton was fought on december 26, 1776, during the american revolutionary war campaign for new jersey. in a surprise attack, the continental army led by george washington attacked the winter quarters of a brigade composed primarily of german troops from hesse-kassel in trenton, new jersey. the hessian brigade was under the command of colonel johann rall; he died of wounds sustained in the battle, and about two thirds of his men were taken prisoner. it was the first major victory after a long string of defeats that had resulted in the loss of new york city, and was a significant boost to american morale. it was followed by two more american victories, first in a second battle at trenton on january 2, 1777, and then on january 3 at princeton.
