Soldiers in small boats cross an icy river at night, by lantern light.
It is a new picture made for us, inspired by Washington's crossing of the Delaware River in December 1776. It is not a copy of an old painting.
The story behind the picture
The story behind the picture
The war began at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.
By the middle of November 1776, the British had pushed Washington's army out of New York. Many of his soldiers could go home when the year ended.
On the night of December 25 to 26, 1776, George Washington led his army across the icy Delaware River. The rain turned to sleet and snow. The cannons were not all across until 3 in the morning. That morning, December 26, they attacked the Hessian soldiers at Trenton, New Jersey, and won.
The war ended on paper with the Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783.
