Battle of Trenton

The Battle of Trenton was a battle between the Americans, Hessians, and the British. The Battle of Trenton took place in Trenton, New Jersey on the Delaware River on December, 25th, 1776. 2,400 Americans with only 18 guns. 1,400 Hessians with 6 light guns. guns back then are not what they are today, they were cannons, not guns like todays guns, almost  every troop had a musket but these were short ranged and not very accurate at all, another reason bayonets were useful. The British were the most prepared for the war, they had 30 cannons, and 4,000 troops, all of them were armed with muskets and wore red coats and leather helmets. The battle was a victory for Washington and his American troops.
