Battle of Trenton:

George Washington and his closest friend was spying on the Hessions. Figuring out on how to attack them. Later that day, G. Washington had a dinner meeting, it was about his plan on attacking them. His plan was to cross the river and attack at exactly at 8:10? They were crossing in the middle of winter. Once they got there, they had to get everything ready and attack, Alex had a demand from Washington, killing about 6 hessions in the little house. When it was time, they attacked, many died already. When Colonel heard the colonists were attacking, he was taking his time to get dressed, he was on his horse yelling/demanding everyone to get the weapons. I shot Colonel then Colonel told his soldiers they had to surrender. So we had won the battle. Washington's closest friend had to help Colonel because he was hurt badly and Washington had to see him. Colonists started taking everything from the hessions, monye, weapons, clothes, shelter. I felt terrible for shooting Colonel but i did it for us.

"I was part of the Washington army that crossed the Delaware River to escape from the British. Tired, ragged, cold. We were low on supplies and losing morale as the days went by. On December 25, Christmas, we were ordered by General Washington to cross the Delaware River once more, this time to Trenton. It was raining and snowing, and the winds were fierce. We set out at around 4 p.m., and did not all make it across the river until around mid-morning the next day. We then marched onward from the bank to Trenton, tired from the treacherous journey through the icy river. Upon arriving in the outskirts of the town, General Washington ordered Alexander Hamilton to kill the Hessians in the guardhouse. After this was done, General Washington ordered us to march into the town and attack the unsuspecting Hessians. Our attack was a success. Our 2400 soldiers caused a huge disturbance in the approximate 1400 troop, and many of the Hessians were hurt or slain. Colonel Rall of the Hessian troop tried to command his soldiers, but our cannons broke the formations of the Hessians. As we surrounded them, and closed in, I took careful aim with my rifle. Being the excellent sharpshooter I am, I shot a bullet with amazing precision straight into the chest of Colonel Rall. Shortly after, Rall surrendered to us, the "petty civilian army". Our surprise attack on the Hessians after Christmas was a brilliant military strategy by General Washington. It is thanks to him that we won the battle, and increased the morale of all us continental soldiers. Miraculously, not one of our own soldiers was hurt or killed."
