(attacking the Hessians in Trenton)

Account of Trenton: "The Battle of Trenton was a battle that was held with uncertainty. We, the Continental Army, with our leader George Washington, planned to advance and attack the Hessians. It was an uncertain battle, we didn’t know whether or not we would be able to held this battle up, and win or lose. If we lost, it would be all over. We wouldn’t be able to fight for our independence anymore. To get to Trenton, we had to cross the Delaware River. It was a task that was supposed to be impossible, and it took us a lot of time to get over. It was a task, which took nearly 12 hours, we started at five thirty in the evening, and we finished at four in the morning. The huge amount of time that it took, caused us to lose the time of when we were suppose to let this mission be succeeded. Instead of attacking during the early hours of the morning, we ended up attacking at eight in the morning. It was a hard battle, the hessians fought, but we were stronger. We beat the Hessians and caused them to surrender. One of our men shot the colonel of the Hessians, who later on died. It was a victorious battle for us, we lost no men, nor were any injured. The courage we had to attack is the courage we need all of you to join the Continental Army, and help us win our independence. "
