∙ 11y agoWashington's crossing of the Delaware River, which occurred on the night of December 25-26, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, was the first move in a surprise attack organized by George Washington against the Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey on the morning of December 26. Planned in partial secrecy, Washington led a column of Continental Army troops across the icy Delaware River in a logistically challenging and dangerous operation. Other planned crossings in support of the operation were either called off or ineffective, but this did not prevent Washington from surprising and defeating the troops of Johann Rall quartered in Trenton. The army crossed the river back to Pennsylvania, this time burdened by prisoners and military stores taken as a result of the battle.

The refinishing a bathtub can be performed without ever removing the bathtub. An expert refinishing can make the bathtub appear as if it were brand new. If funds are particularly limited, a bathtub can be refinished without the assistance of a professional. However, be sure to perform adequate research before attempting to refinish a bathtub because it does require a high amount of precision to avoid over-spray.
