Understand the Problem

The question is asking about various historical aspects related to the American Revolutionary War, including the results of specific battles, public opinion on the war, military strategies, alliances, and weaknesses of the British troops.

The victories at Trenton and Princeton boosted American morale and demonstrated their capability to defeat the British. The war's cost was a major reason for lack of support in Britain. After Saratoga, France became an ally, recognizing American independence.
