The Battle of Trenton

By :Christian

The Battle of Trenton wasnt a siege it was carefully planned out.First the continental army had to gather on the Pensylvania side of the Delaware river,then lead three groups of soldiers into the Delaware river and attack in 1 formation at Trenton.The continentals had an advantage, first everybody was asleep from the christmas party and second they would gain clothes and artillary,but they Washingtons army was outnumbered by the thousands. One slip up or it would be a tie or a loss.The soldiers clothes were raggedy and nearly anyone had shoes.

﻿ So they trudged through the snow leaing red footprints behind them. So they crept up and accidentally went on the wrong side of the fort.Now they had another advantage,they didnt have to fight the guards.They went in and took out nearly everyone.They got guns,clothes,and nearly 1,000 prisoners of war.
