The Battle of Trenton

16 min • 25 december 2024

In the winter of 1776, things did not look good for the Continental Army.

Everything got off to a great start in 1775, but this year saw a series of defeats at the hands of the British.

Things were looking so bad that many Americans thought that the revolution was effectually over.

If Washington was to keep the revolution going, he needed a miracle.

He needed a Christmas miracle.

Learn about the Battle of Trenton and the Christmas attack that kept that revolution alive on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
