Question: In they American Revolution, what was the significance of the battle of the city that's the capital of the state that The Cartel is about?

<P0-S0> on february 8, 1847, doniphan continued his march with 924 men mostly from missouri; he accompanied a train of 315 wagons of a large commercial caravan heading to the state capital. <P0-S1> meanwhile, the mexican forces in the state had time to prepare a defense against the americans. <P0-S2> about 20 miles (32 km) north of the capital where two mountain ranges join from east to west is the only pass into the capital; known as sacramento pass, this point is now part of present-day chihuahua city. <P0-S3> the battle of sacramento was the most important battle fought in the state of chihuahua because it was the sole defense for the state capital. <P0-S4> the battle ended quickly because of some devastating defensive errors from the mexican forces and the ingenious strategic moves by the american forces. <P0-S5> after their loss at the battle of sacramento, the remaining mexican soldiers retreated south, leaving the city to american occupation. <P0-S6> almost 300 mexicans were killed in the battle, as well as almost 300 wounded. <P0-S7> the americans also confiscated large amounts of mexican supplies and took 400 mexican soldiers prisoners of war. <P0-S8> american forces maintained an occupation of the state capital for the rest of the mexican–american war. <SEP> <P1-S0> According to The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the film asks: "How has the richest and most innovative society on earth suddenly lost the ability to teach its children at a level that other modern countries consider 'basic'?" <P1-S1> The Cartel is a 2009 American documentary film by New Jersey-based television producer, reporter and news anchor Bob Bowdon, that covers the failures of public education in the United States by focusing on New Jersey, which has the highest level of per-student education spending in the U.S. <P1-S2> The film regards teachers' unions as the cause of the problems (they are "the cartel" of the title), due to, among other things, the obstacles they put in place to firing bad teachers, through tenure. <P1-S3> It also makes the case for school vouchers and charter schools, suggesting that the increased competition will revitalize the school system, leading to improved efficiency and performance in all schools, both district and charter. <SEP> <P2-S0> New Jersey's 15th Legislative District is one of 40 in the New Jersey Legislature, covering the Hunterdon County municipalities of East Amwell Township, Lambertville City and West Amwell Township; and the Mercer County municipalities of Ewing Township, Hopewell Borough, Hopewell Township, Lawrence Township, Pennington Borough, Trenton City and West Windsor Township. <SEP> <P3-S0> the major opponent of freemasonry was the roman catholic church, so that in countries with a large catholic element, such as france, italy, spain, and mexico, much of the ferocity of the political battles involve the confrontation between what davies calls the reactionary church and enlightened freemasonry. <P3-S1> even in france, masons did not act as a group. <P3-S2> american historians, while noting that benjamin franklin and george washington were indeed active masons, have downplayed the importance of freemasonry in causing the american revolution because the masonic order was non-political and included both patriots and their enemy the loyalists. <SEP> <P4-S0> The Battle of Trenton was a small but pivotal battle during the American Revolutionary War which took place on the morning of December 26, 1776, in Trenton, New Jersey. <P4-S1> After General George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River north of Trenton the previous night, Washington led the main body of the Continental Army against Hessian mercenaries garrisoned at Trenton. <P4-S2> The battle significantly boosted the Continental Army's flagging morale, and inspired re-enlistments. <P4-S3> After a brief battle, almost two - thirds of the Hessian force was captured, with negligible losses to the Americans.
