Analysis Of The Battle Of Trenton

George Washington freed America and commenced the new era of a democratic government for the United States of America. The first president, George Washington, as we know created ingenious battle strategies to defeat and ultimately destroy the bond between Britain and America, such as when Washington led the Continental Army to Trenton then replying back with glee to the President of the Congress “I have the pleasure of Congratulating you upon the success of an enterprise which I had formed against a Detachment of the Enemy lying in Trenton, and which was executed yesterday Morning.
