dec 26, 1776 - Battle of Trenton

Description:

Dec. 26, 1776. This battle turned the
momentum in favor of the rebel Patriots if largely the momentum was in morale. It was a daring move by General Washington to take a ragtag group 2,400 men across the ice-
clogged Delaware River on Christmas night to shock the hung over Hessians and force a surrender. This move kept Patriot dreams alive.
