Fact: The Battle of Trenton was a pivotal moment in the American Revolutionary War and one of George Washington’s most celebrated victories. On the night of December 25, 1776, Washington led a daring crossing of the Delaware River with around 2,400 Continental soldiers. Braving freezing temperatures, snow, and sleet, the army launched a surprise attack on Hessian mercenaries (German soldiers hired by the British). The victory saw the capture of nearly 900 Hessians, and significantly boosted American morale after a string of defeats.
