About this episode
On the night of December 25, 1776, General George Washington led a daring and risky crossing of the icy Delaware River during the American Revolution. Facing defeat and low morale, Washington’s surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey, became a turning point in the war. With harsh winter weather, dangerous river conditions, and exhausted troops, the crossing was a bold gamble—and it worked. This episode explores the strategy, conditions, and impact of the crossing, and how Washington’s leadership helped revive the revolutionary cause at a crucial moment. 📢 Donate via Patreon for a shout-out! 🎉 Check out our new show, Bedtime Safari ! 📺 YouTube 👍 Facebook | Instagram 🇲🇽 Spanish | "Déjame contarte la Historia" Share your thoughts here: https://forms.gle/AV3cWqMPTujDTMSK7
