THE WAR OF PRINCETON AND TRENTON By: Cayla Campbell

The war of Princeton and Trenton was on December 26th 1777. It was a war of independence the leaders where George Washington and Major General Cornwallis. The war was at Princeton New Jersey, That’s how they got the name the war of Princeton. In the war there were 1,400 on the American side and 1,200 on the British. A total of 90 people died 30 American 60 British. 150 British where hurt and 75 Americans. 244 British soldiers were missing or captured. No one I think really knows how many people died, because some people say that 90 people died but a lot of other people say 275 people died. After the battle Washington had won the battle. I found this very interesting even though some of the things people wrote are wrong it makes it a mystery of what really happened.
