Battle of Bordentown, NJ

On this day in 1778,

As Clinton was preparing to evacuate Philadelphia for New York City, he sends light infantry to destroy the naval ships moored at Bordentown. The British immediately march into Bordentown and destroy remaining vessels and the homes of Colonel Borden during The Battle of Bordentown, NJ.

And in 1780,
The British begin the final phase of the siege of Charleston with cannon bombardment of the city.
