Battle of Princeton

Please note I am not a military historian and I won't even attempt to go into great detail on what happened during the battle itself.  

Date January 3rd 1777
Continental Army Deaths 22-45
British Army Deaths 18-100

The Battle of Princeton was one of the most significant battles in the US Revolutionary War.  This was fought after the Battle of Trenton.  The Continental Army pushed back General Cornwallis further east.  General Cornwallis and the British were only left with 8,000 troops on their front lines.  According to historians, The British felt the Battle of Trenton and Princeton were minor victories for the Continental Army.  This was not the case at all.  After the Battle of Princeton many supporting the Continental Army believe the war could be won and obtain freedom for the Colonies.  There are currently eight units in the military that has roots tracing back to the Revolutionary War. 

I love history and believe we all can learn from the past and build a bright future for humanity.  One thing bothers me is that the town of Princeton wants to build on this hollowed grounds.  Peoples lives were lost for our freedom and yet Princeton insists they want to develop this land.  This land is part of our nations history.  Not only our history but British history as well.  An organization was set up and talked to Princeton officials.  They allowed donors to by this location for about 2 million dollars, but they didn't succeed.  Princeton did extend the sell date to December 15th 2017.  Hopefully there will be enough donors to save Princeton Battlefield.  Let's do this!
