the council of war and Washington

Washington Crossing the Delaware Painting

George Washington called for a Council of war to discuss exactly how they would be able to fight this war. They were outnumbered by a lot and the British were better trained than the American soldiers. This was the plan to take the opposition down at Trenton. This is where we get the picture of Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas night. These men were passionate about their freedom and would not let anything get in their way. Washington was a great leader and was also a great president. He knew how to lead an army because he and been a part of it before and also had the will to want to win this war and the freedom that came along with it. This was to be a surprise attach and was kept that way even though only one part of the army meant to fight made it across and they won.
