What country were hessians from?

Answer 1

The Hessians were auxilliary troops from Hess, a state in what is now Germany (The term "Hessian" is now used to refer to all German troops deployed by the Crown in the American Revolution, although not all of them were necessarily from Hess). They were most notably "rented" out by their rulers to the British during the American revolution.

Answer 2

Hesse is a state, principality, in what is now Germany. However, the word Hessian, with respect to the American Revolution, refers to German mercenaries serving the British Crown, without consideration of their origins within Germany.

Answer 3

True "Hessians" came from the region of what is now Hessen, in Germany. Additionally, the British deployed many German troops from other regions of present-day Germany, including Brunswick, Anspach-Bayreuth, Anhalt Zerbst, and Waldeck. However, the largest contribution of auxiliary troops came from Hessen-Kassel, so that "Hessian" became a term for all German auxiliaries deployed by the British in the Revolutionary War.

Answer 4

Answer 5

The Hessian soldiers, employed as mercenaries by the British in the American Revolutionary war, came from the region of Hesse in Germany.
