@history.unlimited: At approximately 8 a.m. on the morning of December 26, Washington's remaining force, separated into two columns, reached the outskirts of Trenton and descended on the unsuspecting Hessians. Trenton's 1,400 Hessian defenders were expected to be groggy from the previous evening's festivities and would underestimate the American threat after months of decisive British victories throughout New York and New Jersey. #history #americanrevolution #americanrevolutionarywar #americanhistory #fyp @Historical U.S.A.
