From The Atlantic Magazine, November 2017 issue:
George Washington and his army crossed the Delaware on December 25, 1776 to launch a surprise attack the next morning on a garrison of Hessian troops celebrating Christmas. The Continental troops forces marched, hungry and ill clad against the cold and snow, to make this attack. The decisive victory increased morale and gave our faltering Revolution the boost it needed to convince everyone we might have a chance.
