And it so often happens, the darkest hour came just before the
dawn．It was late December 1776．The British were waiting for the
Delware River to freeze so that they could move easily and wipe out
the American forces．Washington felt that it was necessary to take
some immediate action and he chose Christmas evening for an attack on
Trenton．
When night fell, the men set out across the river．The boats were
full and difficult to manage．No one could see ahead and the men,
poorly dressed, suffered greatly．Yet the crossing was
successful．Shortly after midnight, Washington and his men began the
long march to Trenton．Then after just a few hours of fighting, the
battle was over．Many enemies had been killed．In addition, Washington
took 900 prisoners without losing a single man from among his own
troops．
This victory at Trenton naturally raised the American spirits
greatly．The second continental congress, which had moved hurriedly
from Philadelphia to Baltimore, returned to Philadlphia．And the war,
which had seemed about to end in failure, continued．
