George Washington resented paying the soldiers hired by the British, known as Hessians, because he viewed them as mercenaries fighting for profit rather than for a cause. He believed that true soldiers should be motivated by loyalty and commitment to their country, not financial gain. Additionally, the reliance on hired troops undermined the legitimacy of the British cause in the eyes of the American colonists, further fueling their desire for independence. Washington's disdain for mercenaries reflected his commitment to the principles of patriotism and civic duty.
