After the British forced George Washington's army across the Delaware River, he desperately wanted a decisive victory to restore morale and confidence in his beleaguered troops. He aimed to regain momentum in the Revolutionary War and inspire support from the Continental Congress and the public. Washington's strategic goal was to conduct a surprise attack on the Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey, which he successfully executed on December 26, 1776. This victory provided a much-needed boost for the American cause.

General Washington's troops crossed the Delaware River in boats and barges.

Answerto get to the other side! (literally!)true. But it was also definitely not for the same reason that he crossed the Delaware River (often confused with the Potomac) On a cold December night, Washington and his troops crossed the ice-choked Delaware River and caught the British troops completely by surprise. Definitely a turning point in the war.
The Battle of Trenton (New Jersey) was fought on December 26, 1776, when Washington's troops crossed the icy Delaware River in a snowstorm to attack the Hessian garrison. As many as 1000 of the German troops were captured, and their commander, Johann Rall, was mortally wounded.
