On Christmas night 1776 Washington led his troops to a victory that was a turning point for America winning the Revolutionary War. As a snow storm pounded Washington and his soldiers, they crossed the Delaware River and routed the Hessian garrison. Because only about half of the Continental Army made the crossing Washington gathered up his prisoners and crossed the Delaware again. His victory was not exploited but the morale boost was apparent and new recruits joined the cause.
