British FAILS on Crossing the Delaware River

1) On Christmas night in 1776 Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River in the snow and ice and attacked Trenton.

2) The British were accustomed to gentlemen's warfare so they did not see this attack coming.  FAIL!  


3) In result the surprise attack was successful and Washington captured more than 900 Hessians.  Not a single American was killed! 

4) The British had a major FAIL because they never would have expected the Americans to attack during the night because they were used to gentlemen's warfare, not guerrilla warfare, which is what the Americans used.
