1. Identify Key Ideas Challenges and setbacks for the Continental Army The men soon realized that they would never have enough bullets for the fight ahead. Later that summer, British warships were spotted entering New York’s harbor. King George had gotten help from the Germans as well. More than thirty thousand trained troops arrived to fight the unprepared colonial militiamen. George Washington nearly lost his army in the fierce fighting around New York and New Jersey that fall. The Redcoats chased the Continental Army south, across the Delaware River. Thinking that they had scared them off, the Redcoats left only a small force to guard them on the other side of the river. It was December, and they felt sure that nobody would fight during the dead of winter. But they were wrong. George Washington came up with a daring plan. On Christmas night, he gathered his men together. It was snowing and cold, but Washington had the men get into their boats and row quietly across the ice-filled river. More than two thousand soldiers crossed the river. EngageNY.org 10
1. Identify Key Ideas Success under leadership of George Washington George Washington came up with a daring plan. On Christmas night, he gathered his men together. It was snowing and cold, but Washington had the men get into their boats and row quietly across the ice-filled river. More than two thousand soldiers crossed the river. The crossings took nine hours! Marching through the wind and sleet of the December cold, the Continental Army reached the British troops just before dawn. While the Redcoats were still sleeping, Washington’s men launched a surprise attack on the enemy camp. The Redcoats were surprised all right! Some of them came out of their bunks in their underwear and just held up their hands. It was a total victory for General Washington. Nobody in his army had been killed. Washington and his army returned to Philadelphia to shouts of joy. But the war wasn’t over yet. The Continental Congress knew that they needed more help in order to win their war for independence. German soldiers were fighting alongside the British. EngageNY.org 11
