On this day in 1776,
Howe crosses the Hudson River and strikes at the second of two forts which is Washington's current headquarters. Thus the Battle of Fort Lee forces the Americans to retreat yet again across New Jersey toward Trenton.
And in 1777,
Faced with a hopeless situation, the Americans evacuate Fort Mercer destroying all assets in their wake. Howe now controls the Delaware River up to Philadelphia.
