This state's legislature met to ratify the Declaration of Independence at Indian King Tavern. The series of scouting missions and skirmishes in this state in early 1777 were dubbed the "forage war." The harsh conditions in the 1779 to 1780 winter encampment here nearly sparked a mutiny in the Continental Army. It was governed throughout the revolution by William Livingston. A series of American victories in this state occurred on the "Ten Crucial Days." The general Hugh Mercer died at the battle which drove the British out of this state. (*) Mary Hays' work loading cannons inspired the legend of Molly Pitcher at this state's Battle of Monmouth. It was also the site of a December 26, 1776 battle where a large group of Hessian soldiers were surprised and captured. For 10 points, name this state, the site of the battles of Trenton and Princeton.
