On Christmas Night 1776, General George Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River to attack the Hessian mercenaries in Trenton, New Jersey. The victory boosted the morale of the Continental Army and helped to turn the tide of the war.

The Crossing of the Delaware

Washington's decision to cross the Delaware on Christmas Night was a risky one. The river was full of ice and snow, and the weather was bitterly cold. But Washington knew that he had to do something to boost the morale of his troops. The Continental Army had been defeated in a series of battles, and many of the soldiers were close to giving up.

Washington's plan was to cross the river at McKonkey's Ferry, about nine miles north of Trenton. He divided his army into three columns, and each column was assigned a specific task. The first column, led by General James Ewing, was to cross the river and attack the Hessian outpost at Bordentown. The second column, led by General Nathanael Greene, was to cross the river and attack the Hessian garrison at Trenton. The third column, led by Washington himself, was to cross the river and support the other two columns. .

On Christmas afternoon, Washington's army began to cross the Delaware. The crossing was difficult and dangerous, but the troops persevered. By nightfall, all three columns had crossed the river and were ready to attack.

The Battle of Trenton

In the early morning hours of December 26, 1776, Washington's army attacked Trenton. The Hessians were surprised by the attack, and they were quickly overwhelmed. Within an hour, the battle was over. The Continental Army had won a decisive victory.
