Their first much needed victory was at Trenton, New Jersey. General Washington and his men marched nine miles through sleet and snow to the garrison held by the enemy. These were not British, but mercinaries, fighting solely for money. Germans paid by the British, Hessians. But they were lulled into confidence by the storm, and it was Christmas.
