BADUMDUMDUMDUM
In the US, we don't have a holiday celebrating Washington's crossing of the Delaware River. We celebrate his birthday on Feb 22 and Independence Day on July 4. But George crossed the Delaware River on Christmas and captured many Hessians on December 26, 1776.
The Delaware.
Yes because the reality of the painting has nothing to do with the glorious version of them crossing the Delaware.
Emanuel Leutze.
In the famous painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware," Washington is depicted standing in a rowboat that is making its way across the Delaware River. The painting depicts the historical event of General George Washington and his troops crossing the river on Christmas night in 1776 in order to launch a surprise attack on the Hessian soldiers in Trenton, New Jersey during the American Revolutionary War. Washington's destination is the opposite bank of the river where the Hessian soldiers are located.
