Weather Plays Role in Pivotal Revolutionary War Battle December 25, 2005, 10:44 pm Posted by Bill Murray in Weather History In December 1776, the Revolutionary War was not going well for the Americans. The war had grown from a local rebellion in the eyes of the British to a full blown war. The Redcoats evacuated Boston on march 17, 1776. It was a strategic move on their part, not a defeat. They would return in the summer of 1776 to besiege New York with the greatest naval armada ever assembled to that time. The British pushed the Americans out of New York City and Long Island. The ragtag Americans were in retreat. Washington had moved his troops across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. War was a seasonal activity in those days. The British settled into winter quarters. There was an outpost of German mercenaries at Trenton, New Jersey. The Brits actually thought they had the war won when they captured General Charles Lee on December 13th. With the British in hibernation, Washington saw his chance. If the mission failed, America would never have happened. General Washington planned three simultaneous crossings of the icy Delaware River during the early morning hours of December 26, 1776. Washington crossed the icy river in the of an increasing storm that was hurling a mixed bag of wintry precipitation at the Continentals, including sleet, snow and an icy rain. Temperatures were around 32 degrees. The disciplined Hessians withdrew their pickets and suspended their patrols as the storm raged. They were also sleeping off their Christmas celebration. All of this added to the element of surprise for the Americans. By 4 a.m., all of the troops and guns were across the river. The 2,400 soldiers began a march in the worst of conditions. Sleet hailed down on them. Their muskets were made useless by the moisture. But Washington bravely led his men onward. At the winter storm swirled, Washington surrounded the town and attacked at 8 a.m. The battle was a decisive one for Washington and the Americans, who only suffered four casualties. The Hessian losses were horrendous. 106 Germans were killed or wounded and another 868 taken prisoner. Washington knew better than to press his case then and slipped back across the ice choked river, living to fight another day.
