he did not cross on christmas eve. he crossed on christmas day. this is often misattributed, and i think it goes to how we celebrate christmas today. so we often think christmas eve, the night before christmas is when all the merriment and joy happens. but washington actually crosses on the night of december 25th, 1776. so when he attacks the hessians the next day, it is actually december 26th, 1776. so common misconception. now, this is a good question. did the weather happen to align perfectly for the american cause during this campaign? did it support his army almost perfectly, you know, in finding a way to defeat the hessians and then, you know, there's going to be a couple more battles against the british just a few days after the battle of trenton. but did the weather somehow magically happen? interesting. we are evenly divided on this. 50/50. well, this is true. the weather almost happens perfectly for the american cause. now, i know what you're saying. they had to cross in a blizzard. it was snowing, sleeting, rainy. how does that help the

himself crossing. so there's gonna be artistic license and all this but i will say although this is not historically accurate i do think what it does sum up. is that the critical nature of this campaign and loitza was painting. this is after the revolution of the revolutions in europe in 1848, and he was trying to garner support and and use the american cause to show how these few men, you know with the wind beating in their faces pushed up against all odds and were able to to pull victory from the the jaws of defeat and that is accurate this this campaign the battles of trenton and princeton is going to be a defining moment of the american revolution and and it was against all odds and washington in his band of men were successful. this is probably the lowest of the the cause of the revolution and trenton and prince is gonna kind of turn everything around so i do think it is still a very valuable representation. it's inspiring. and hopefully gets people to want to learn more about this campaign. my bi

they had to cross in a blizary.was snowing, sleeting, raining, and how do that help their cause at all? washington set time to attack and he was going to cross to delaware and he had a track nine miles down and there were two other divisions that would cross the river and attack the hessians. those other two columns can't even get across the river because downriver the ice builds up so bad they can't even get across, so how does this help the americans? well, those other divisions go the aos. may have. the weather so bad that the hessian patrolled, they actually came in so they weren't paroling that negotiate because of the weather and washington is able to spring this surprise the day after christmas and totally surprises the hessians and was able to capture over 900 of them so the weather -- that terrible weather helped washing fn that night and then when the british find about this, general cornwallis is going to gather up as many troops as he can and attack washington's guys at trenton. guess what, the weather g

so, you know, washington crossing -- washington crosses many, many rivers but it's -- it's that crossing on christmas day that becomes the -- the most important because of the events that followed in the battle of trenton and princeton. >> well, i think one of the questions for our panel in the afternoon that we'll have to drop for robin phil would be, you and vanessa can -- can do a fight club over is the southern campaign or trenton and princeton the most important parts of the revolutionary war? so, i look forward to seeing the -- that banter back and forth between what potentially the answer to that question would be. >> yeah. and i got a foot in both things because i am actually working on a book, right now, about charleston, south carolina and the revolution. so i do not discount the importance. well, we'll wait until the panel. but -- >> for the afternoon fun. so unless there's any, other questions from our participants out there on the zoom, then if you can think of one. you can always, certainly, e-mail me. and then, we can pass that along to mark, as well, to get that answer. b

the renewal of the babel crossing. but of course, there were objections by china and russia and then you withdrew that dropped and proposed a compromise resolution. so would you now be looking at trying to convince russia to opening at least one other border crossing? well, as you, as you rightly point out, our initial aim was to open to or to have the one we have today. but how open and we open another crossing that was not possible for the counsel to we on. so we had to work with all council members in order to get a renewal for the next year, which is more or less about keeping $3400000.00 people alive in syria. and how we see this is as a victory for diplomacy. and we think that it's also a very good way of cooperating with all council members. we also see that it now covers many of the needs that are not only big, but also increasing in that part of syria. and there are no other ways for people in this region to get to my attention a because there are no supply lines from regime control, the areas in syria and int

2nd busiest border crossing. also you mentioned the location of it. it's just south of kandahar and south west left and the son which is the telephone strong hole. but now with this border crossing, it connects them with talk of some where a lot of the senior leaders have been to many years. and it also allows them to get all that custom revenue that's coming through the border. yes. can government say something like 900 trucks across through the every day that the taliban and not taking customs duties from now this isn't the 1st border crossing they have taken. it is the largest, but it isn't the 1st they have taken in the last few weeks. they've taken some smaller ones up on the northern border of afghanistan, minnesota to g custom. and also on the iranian border, they took quite a large border crossing called islam color. now we've talked to truck drivers have come through this since they've taken the crossing. and they say yes, we're now paying taxes to the television bought. we got a few kilometers down the

some had wanted that again to be more than one crossing potentially 3 crossings. the u. s. wanted, in the end, no way at all, and put forward to russia, objected to that it went down to one for one year. russia then proposed one for only 6 months. the compromise is one for 6 months, then a report from the secretary general and then another 6 month authorization, pretty much automatically. so everyone seems happy, although clearly not enough. aid is going to get into syria as it would if there were 3 crossings. in many ways. we have the status quo now, but i think there is an important aspect to the story that goes beyond syria. and that's the fact that russia and the u. s. a both saying that they made this compromise happen, and they're saying that it's a new turning point. the russian ambassador saying, we're witnessing a historical moment. this was, this could be a turning point, not only for syria, but the middle east in the whole world as a whole. he's certainly been very positive about this. the u. s. a best, the perhaps not as full in her praise, but certainly again s

one border crossing only authorized for 6 months. and that's how things stood at the start of the meeting of the security council. they didn't start with a vote though they adjourned to have private consultations. and during those consultations, they decided to merge those 2 draft resolutions, the one from russia and the one from the norway to create this new resolution. and the compromise is 6 months plus 6 months, so they will reauthorize the one border crossing for further 6 months. and then after 6 months, the 2nd general of the united nations will rise report on the situation. and assuming he says, the border crossing is still needed, it will then be authorized for another 6 months. this is something that both sides, i think, can say is a success. both sides can say on this occasion, compromise at the security council worked, but you're not at the end of this left without the feeling that over the last few hours, syrians who rely so much on his aid have been subject to diplomatic game, playing well lest thou cross over to bobby
