Why Washington Needed to ATTACK on Christmas 

I reside in Trenton.N.J.. Try luggung hose cannons up and down deep revine , there were 2 for 9 miles.. The freezing sleet was horizontal.. Took some balls in those days. There are markers today located here and in Princeton noting the trail. There are re-enactments of both battles. They have not outlawed those...yet.

Another dates and dead guys classic! Happy Holidays!

Great work! This feat by Washington reminds me of George Rogers Clark's capture of Vincennes/ Ft. Sackville in February 1779. (hint, hint)

You omitted the name of an important American soldier. Once you hear it, it is unforgettable. It was artillery lieutenant James Monroe. He was wounded so badly he nearly died. You may have heard that he had a political career afterwards. Like John McCain (and unlike Bob Dole) he never neglected to mention his story of heroism. But unlike McCain, James Monroe won the Presidency.

That was a hell of a job ferrying everyone & thing across. God Bless America & God Bless Washington & The Continental Army.

These are fantastic- I'm hooked. Thanks to RU-vid for suggesting you.

This is my kinda thing. Subbed and will binge watch your videos tonight man thanks 😂

Love your work man.

Great job I love your videos so much

man it's hard to imagine having to do that in the past. great video

What a wonderful retelling of this incredible story man, you’re like Mr Ballen but for history ! I’ve commented on other videos and will continue to do so to help the ol RU-vid algorithm, but I just want to give you some affirmation and praise that your hard work and natural talent to convey stories like, as you say, your telling them to a friend is not going unseen or under appreciated. I promise you your channel is going to blow up bigger than you ever thought possible and you deserve every bit of good fortune that’s coming your way. Liked and shared man, God Speed!

You are a master story teller

Good stuff

when it's The Wash, Knox, the lads of the continental army rowing, and the ice and darkness all around, that joke recorded that Washington made makes him sound like a real bro.

Great vid!!! And merry christmas to you too! Different year but meh.

"The Gift is Violence" lol that is just brilliant

Enjoying your programs on the Spanish and the plains Indians! Was it true the Mexicans encouraged anglos to move into Texas to create a buffer between them and the Apache/ Comanche?

Well, since you asked, my request is for the battle of Yorktown. From a numbers perspective, it appeared to be a complete and utter disaster for the British military and I often wonder how it was so one-sided.

This is my favorite christmas story!!!!

Of all the Generals you had to mention Horatio Gates if named Washington's successor would've immediately retreated until it was him who was surrounded by the british at Yorktown. Thank God GW prevailed at Trenton AND Princeton. But they badly needed Valley Forge and the Baron Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin von Steuben....the man who won the Revolutionary war for America!

Keep at it.

Awesome! Can you do the story on Indians fighting giants..? Or Texas Rangers against Commanche..

Please read Patrick K. O’Donnell’s book “The Indispensables.” Fills in a lot of information about the attack on Trenton.

God loves the infantry

I wish you'd do The Alamo

As I remember, there was a third phase of this campaign beyond Trenton and Princeton that lasted a number of months, pretty much gorilla warfare in the region where the Yankees were also successful.

Christmas bloodshed!

Love the fact that I’m named Trenton…

Are you related to Wendigoon? You two favor each other a little. 🤔 love the channel, I’ll be returning 🎉

Washington's joke shows he was a true American LOL

It just shows us that much of what we believe is fiction more than fact. Patriot are our greatest treasure but most ride on their coattails while telling everyone how what they want is most important.

I really like your narrative style. Telling a story not giving a history seminar.

This video is fuperb, fupplementary historical knowledge like this is important because the finer details often get glossed over in fchool. 12:10 Seriously though, I can't be the only one who constantly forgets that a long "s" used to exist. ...Early modern English makes me feel like I'm having a stroke.

I never heard about Washington's joke wile boarding the boat. Funny stuff. I am struck at his verbiage. Not unlike how people speak today.

PLS FIGHT!

Jesus Loves You All

Because it was a pagan holiday having nothing to do with Jesus ,just like Easter

How in the HE dlb. hockey sticks 🏒🏒 did those Amazing American Patriots pull off such incredible feat. Is almost beyond comprehension. But damn shure glad they did.🗽🇺🇸⚾🥧
