C. 
Washington withdrew his broken army to New Jersey. A bit 
later, his forces crossed the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. 
By doing this, Washington hoped to draw the British forces 
inland. In that way, the British lines would be spread thin 
and the British supply lines would be harder to maintain. 
However, Washington also knew that American morale was 
low. They needed some kind of immediate success against 
the British.
