Tempting to agree with majority regarding Saratoga BUT when one examines the battle in detail it does come across as another example of blundering to victory whereas TRENTON was clearly a fight.
A small fight, to be certain, and those arguing the nobility of warfare will point out that Trenton was a sneak attack not a set piece battle. BUT, and this is what is important, Trenton provided Dash & Excitement - - - Washington made a clearly heroic bold move and in the wake of Trenton drove the British out of New Jersey. Trenton proved that Washington had moxie - - b@lls - - - and assurred all sorts of skeptics that Washington was The Man.
After Saratoga, when people began whispering that Gates was a potential replacement for Washington, the Battle of Trenton was cited as proof that Washinton was the better leader. No one could imagine 'old woman' Gates perched in a boat on an ice bound river after Midnight prepared to dash into battle against a regiment of crack troops.
Peace....

Concord was the START... and a failure.
Bunker Hill comes next... and the Continentals lost that hill.
Trenton was Washington crossing the Delaware and defeating the Hessians... and was the Continental's first "win".
Saratoga (Oct 1777) Prevented the English invasion from the NORTH... and helped bring the French in on the side of America. I'd pick this.

Saratoga was the turning point of the Revolutionary War with British Gen. John Burgoyne's defeat by Continental Gen. Horatio Gates.
Coincidentally, BenedictArnold was injured and almost died in this battle by defying Gen. Gates orders and fighting as a private amongst the soldiers. Had he died, he would now be known as one of America's greatest heroes instead of our worst traitor.

Saratoga--convinced the French we had a shot at winning so they committed troops to assist.
