What was a result of the battles of Trenton and Princeton during the American Revolution?

The American victories at Trenton and Princeton in late 1776 and early 1777 gave the Continental Army a much-needed boost after earlier setbacks. The victories increased morale and encouraged supporters of the colonial cause to keep fighting. France later joined the war on the colonial side, but that was not an immediate result of these battles.
