Battle of Springfield: The Revolution Fights in New Jersey
Continental militia and regulars repelled a major British assault on Springfield, New Jersey, burning the town's bridge and fighting house to house to halt the redcoat advance. The failed invasion marked the last significant British offensive in the northern colonies and effectively conceded New Jersey to American control for the remainder of the war.
