Times that Try Our Souls - Americans Lose to RedcoatsAbout a week after the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the colonies, King George III sent a huge fleet of war ships to New York Harbor. Dark days followed for the Americans as their commander, George Washington, lost battle after battle. Then ... beginning on Christmas night - and continuing the day after Christmas, 1776 - Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River and gave the colonists a much-needed morale boost: Victory over the unexpecting British garrison at Trenton.
