On this episode of Our American Stories, on Christmas night in 1776, George Washington crossed the Delaware River and launched a daring surprise attack at Trenton that changed the course of the American Revolution. Against all odds, his army defeated the Hessian forces and revived the cause of independence when hope was at its lowest. Dr. Larry Arnn of Hillsdale College shares how Washington’s leadership turned a desperate gamble into one of the most important victories in American history.
