Washington’s January 1777 Princeton maneuver veers toward Morristown
General Washington ordered a deception at Assunpink Creek and moved toward Princeton aided by a captured British map. Mercer died amid heavy fighting near the Stony Brook bridge as Cadwalader’s troops pressed on and collapsed. Washington rallied his forces before the British retreated to Trenton and Cornwallis hurried to New Brunswick to guard a war chest of over 70,000 pounds in gold. Washington then steered toward Kingston and Morristown by January 6, establishing winter quarters.

He warned fines could be as low as five dollars and argued the move risks legalizing drug offenses.
