Description: Washington chased the British out of most of New Jersey.
are connected, and part of a campaign against the British forces in NJ, during the American Revolution during the 1776-1777 winter. Here is a general account of that campaign. In the fall of 1776, Washington was in desperate straits, having been defeated in Long Island, and having to retreat from New York City, which being surrounded by water, was found to be indefensible from the British with their naval mobility and larger force. Leaving most of the army under Major General Charles Lee, in Westchester, he crossed into New Jersey. Fort Washington on Manhattan Island was captured by the Hessians (mercenary troops from Germany employed by the British), and Fort Lee, opposite the Hudson on the Jersey shore, was about to be attacked. Washington ordered the stores removed and the troops to prepare for evacuation.
