washington, the first battle of trenton is confusing, there are two battles of trenton, the first where washington crosses the delaware and surprises the hessians and there is an incredible turnaround. washington takes his armies back to pennsylvania and the decision is made to return to new jersey and washington is now occupying trenton. the british by this time have fled north, and here's this and the greatest asset, because there was a chance, battle of long island, to destroy washington's army, there are positive feelings about the american colonies, the elder george died in the arms of his real putnam and the massachusetts legislature voted money for a memorial on westminster alley and they never forgot that. these are two brothers, one was an admiral and the other was a pair and their hope was not to destroy washington but to reach the point where americans would be forced to negotiate. they felt that would be better for reconciliation but trenton mastered that scheme. he sends cornwallis down, very much like what benedict arnold had earlier done, was very interesting. the other s
