german mercenaries (hessians) who were fighting for the british
The Hessians made Jonathan walk in front of them during the fighting to serve as a human shield, leveraging him to protect themselves from enemy fire. This tactic aimed to intimidate their opponents, showcasing their disregard for the safety of a captured individual. Additionally, it exemplified the ruthless nature of warfare at the time, where the lives of non-combatants were often placed at risk to gain a tactical advantage.
German Hessians.... Today, we might call them mercenaries...

Directly, they were fighting because it was their job to do what the British commanded them to. Ultimately, they were fighting for duty, honour, and loyalty. Hessians were professional soldiers who were often "rented" out to other armies by their rulers, a common practice in 18th century Europe. During the American War of Independence, George III, who had family ties to the Prince of Hess, borrowed and deployed entire regiments of Hessians. Some were volunteers, but many were conscripted, and a few Hessian states kept significant parts of the population under arms. Being a professional princely army, Hessians upheld a strong code of honour. They usually had nothing to gain from the conflict, but fought anyway because it was their duty as soldiers. They served out of a sense of loyalty to their princes and their States.
