Some folks talk about the Battle of Cowpens over in North Carolina being the reason that the US exists in its present form.
A Maine author Kenneth Roberts thought it was overlooked, and important enough that it was the last book he wrote and it was published posthumously. The Battle of Cowpens: the story of 900 men who shook an empire
Most of Roberts books were New England centric but he thought Cowpens was that important.
(The men who served in more recent actions on the escort carrier named after the battle called it "The Mighty Moo" and have their reunions at the battlefield park.

The entire southern theater gets overlooked even though it was more brutal and what ended up winning the war.

For sake of the argument presented by OP, you could say that neither King’s Mountain nor Cowpens would have happened without Trenton.

The southern theater is overlooked all the time when discussing this war. I know Washington wasn’t there and whatnot but damn, the southern war was so important and so brutal in comparison with the northern theater.
Cornwallis ended up at Yorktown because of what happened in the south.
