Crossing Delaware 1776: General George Washington Large Gift Bag
The year was 1776, and the American Revolution was in a perilous state. General George Washington's Continental Army, outnumbered and outgunned by the British forces, faced a desperate situation. Morale was low, supplies were scarce, and the army was shrinking as soldiers' enlistments expired. - Washington knew he needed a bold move to turn the tide of the war. He devised a daring plan to cross the icy Delaware River on Christmas night and attack the Hessian mercenaries stationed in Trenton, New Jersey. The Hessians, known for their heavy drinking and partying, were likely to be off guard during the holiday season. - On December 25th, the Continental Army gathered on the Pennsylvania side of the river. The weather was bitterly cold, with snow and sleet falling. The river was partially frozen, making the crossing even more treacherous. Despite the harsh conditions, Washington's men, inspired by their commander's determination, prepared for the perilous journey. - Under the cover of darkness, the army embarked on small boats and rowed across the icy river. The crossing was arduous, with some boats getting stuck in the ice and soldiers falling into the freezing water. But the Continental Army persevered, driven by the hope of victory. - Upon reaching the New Jersey shore, the troops marched towards Trenton. The surprise attack caught the Hessians off guard, and the Continental Army quickly overwhelmed them. The battle was swift and decisive, with the Americans capturing over 900 Hessian soldiers and seizing valuable supplies. - The victory at Trenton was a turning point in the American Revolution. It boosted the morale of the Continental Army and the American people, and it showed the world that the American rebels were a force to be reckoned with. General George Washington's daring crossing of the Delaware River became a symbol of courage, determination, and the indomitable spirit of the American Revolution. - This work by Emanuel Leutze (1816–1868) is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.
