George Washington because im rocks let go
The battle of Trenton
They were on the British side; They were loyal to the King.
In the American revolution the hessians worked for the British. They had cruel minds and only thought of killing. Many hessians during the war forgot about there family back in germany. This was exactly what the British wanted. The Americans though they had no chance against one of the biggest armies in the world. The hessians liked straight line tactics or just charging into war. Once Someone was killed in the first row someone in the second row would take their place. The Americans preferred gorilla tactics that the hessians didn't know about.
The Battle of Trenton, fought on December 26, 1776, was won by General George Washington and the Continental Army, marking a significant victory for the American forces during the Revolutionary War. The Battle of Princeton followed shortly after on January 3, 1777, and was also a victory for Washington's troops. These victories boosted morale and helped to revitalize the American cause against British rule.
The Hessians were German mercenaries hired by the British to fight in the American Revolutionary War. Specifically, the British Crown recruited these soldiers from the region of Hesse to bolster their forces against the American colonists. Their involvement was part of Britain's strategy to suppress the revolution and maintain control over the colonies. The use of Hessians highlighted the extent of British commitment to the war effort and contributed to colonial resentment against foreign troops fighting on behalf of the British.

George Washington was victorious in the Battle of Princeton on January 3, 1777. This battle took place in Princeton, New Jersey, during the American Revolutionary War. Washington's Continental Army defeated the British forces, boosting American morale and demonstrating the army's ability to fight and win against the British.
Two notable sites of colonial victories in New Jersey are the Battle of Trenton and the Battle of Princeton. The Battle of Trenton, fought on December 26, 1776, marked a surprise attack by George Washington’s troops against Hessian forces, leading to a crucial victory for the Continental Army. The following month, the Battle of Princeton on January 3, 1777, further bolstered American morale as Washington's forces defeated British troops, solidifying the momentum of the Revolutionary cause in the region.
The American Colonists were fighting a revolution against the British. They fought the Battle of Trenton, NJ on Christmas Day, because General George Washington needed to win a big battle, he had been beaten quite a few times by the British recently, he needed to get soldiers whose enlistments were about to expire to reenlist, he needed to prove to the Colonial government in Philadelphia he could win a revolution. The British did not expect a battle on Christmas Day, or in the middle of winter. They thought they had all but beaten George Washington and the Colonial Army. Gen. Washington crossed the icy Delaware river from Pennsylvania to New Jersey and caught the British off guard at Trenton. The victory had the consequences General/President George Washington wanted. It was one the major turning points of the Revolution, along with the Battle of Saratoga and Battle of Yorktown.
