243 years ago this evening Pre-POTUS #1 sets out across the Delaware river to attack the Hessian (German mercenaries) encamped at Trenton.
After months of losses the future of the American Revolution was very much in doubt until Washington, with this daring assault, revived the spirits of our countrymen.
I can only imagine the hell that these patriots faced as the fought the weather, river, and well trained enemy on that night so long ago. I’d venture to guess that there was not a single ‘democratic socialist’ among them !
