How did Washington trick the British in New Jersey?



He crossed the river.

He set up camps.

He kept fires burning.

He went to the supply line.

Answer 1

Washington left a few men behind to keep feeding the campfires so they would continue to burn brightly. Washington's army departed in the middle of the night. His men wrapped the wheels of the gun carriages of the cannon with rags to muffle the sounds they made going across the frozen ground. Washington's army stayed away from the main road and took a secondary road around the British to Princeton.
