Views in the Battle of Trenton

On the morning of December 26the General Washington lead the American fources to another unlikely victory. Weeks before General Lee was captued by Lt.Col. Harcourt and could not come to the aid of Washington, thus this weakened our fources even more. Another blow was the retreat of General Greene.

The New Jersey Militia also showed up in miniscule numbers, and deserttion was common

The British troops along with the Hessians had been chasing the American fources from New Brunswick, to Princeton, untill the pushed them back into Pennslyvania. The British troops were spread out and not feeling any threat of the Amrican fources, besides a few rapscalius New Jersey Milita Men who annoyed them enough to give Washingto a hand. The foursight of Washinton lead him to have all the boats along the Deleware collected as to stop any mode of further progress by Howe. This worked and Howe decied not to persue Washinton any further. Washington took this time to recuperate and plan.

The timing could not have been more perfect had God planned it himself. Just after nightfall Washinton had his troops ferried acro

As luck would hve it the same stoem caused Major Dechow to cancel his dawn patrole. The Drunken Corl. Rall was slow to aide his troops from his Christmas reveling. All the Hessians were slowed by the jollies of the past night and the sober Ameican militia caught them off guard. In the pandamonium the three Hessian regiments were seperated and left exposed. With many of their weapons captuerd and their routes of escape blocked, the Hessians surrendered. The Battle at Trenton was not long, but it was innvaluable. Although the fighting lasted only an hour and a half, the we captuerd valuable cannos, weapons, 1000 arms and 868 hHessians. With only 6 Ameican Casulties and 106 Hessian casualties, it is easy yo see that the Briliant Washington has done it again and showed the haughty British that nothing can stop an independent thinking American.

This win by the Americans at the battle of Trentn can only be seen a lucky event on their part that will only delay their loss of the war by a few weeks. A small anount of amunition was taken from our soldiers, btu nothing sufficent enough to give them any hope or make our loss signifigant. This is one of Americas few wins in the war, and it will certainly be one of their last.

Now, I an a milita man myslef, and I did fight for a while, but my family was more important, so yes, I deserted. But then those over stuffed shirts came and pilliaged our town. We had to do somethig so we snuck up at night a
