Tonight’s holiday special is the real story of the night that stopped the collapse.
On Christmas night, 1776, George Washington took what was left of the Continental Army across the Delaware River in brutal conditions and hit Trenton with everything on the line. This is not the postcard version. We are going to lay out the situation before the attack, what each side had to work with, how the crossing was executed, and why this battle changed momentum.
What you will hear in this special
- Where the Revolutionary War stood before Trenton, morale, enlistments, money, momentum
- What Washington actually had left, manpower, supply, time, options
- What the British and Hessians had nearby and why they felt secure
- The crossing plan, the conditions, the timing, the risk
- The attack at Trenton, what happened and what mattered
- The aftermath, what changed next and why it echoed far beyond one town
