The battles of Trenton and Princeton were significant victories for General Washington in December 1776 and January 1777, respectively.

The battles of Brandywine Creek and Germantown did not occur until later in 1777, after the winter quarters had been established at Morristown. The battles of Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan Island also occurred earlier in the war, in 1776. The battles of Fort Ticonderoga and Bennington occurred in 1777, but they were fought in northern New York and Vermont, respectively, and were not directly connected to General Washington's actions at Morristown.
