Why No One Died in the Delaware River Crossing

- It's hard to imagine a better outcome than the one engineered by George Washington crossing the Delaware River in 1776 with 2,400 troops. This is how he did it, and then won the Battle of Trenton.

Other than briefly mentioning ferry boats, this video doesn't explain a darned thing about how they survived that river crossing...
+WWZenaDo Yeah what the hell, that's the main part I wanted to hear.
Yep.
This video is click bait.
It indirectly tells us. They crossed and marched in the middle of the night on a holiday. By the rules of war at the time that was unsportsmanlike because as they said, the enemy was caught sleeping off the holiday festivities.
Michael Brennan How. Did. They. Survive. The. Crossing. Your comment was very unhelpful.
Trenton looks so graceful from the air lol
Nothing is ever mentioned of Harry Potts who fell into the river and Peter Koenig who jumped into after him, they were never seen again, their bodies never recovered.
Is it possible to have put in less research to this video? This is how I imagine this was made: "Okay. I read Wikipedia. Let's get our camera guy up in the air for a few shots of the bridge, monument, and the Park. I'll write this up right now." Nailed it!
I thought they'd mention Glover's Regiment of Marblehead fishermen as the boatmen that safely ferried them (again). Glad they gave a shout out to the architect that built the slab for the statue though.
No explanation of how they survived the crossing. No footage of the river during winter. No like from me.
Two Continental soldiers Froze to death during the March
Well, almost no one. But this is just a commercial for the Smithsonian, not a documentary.
Great information on
Great Delaware River !! Greetings dear friend💐💐
As usual, topic and content are different
Some recent tragedies at Washington's Crossing(2023).
Somethere in the deeps there is drowned 20th Century Boy...
Finally a JoJo reference
Im going to say that some wacky character from bizarre show and comic died here
is he a weird guy that have a partner whose hair and beard looks like waffle?
Weak explanation...
GEICO brought me here
Me too
I dont get it, its like a half mile max. Theres people that swim futher in ice water for fun. George was just a mans man. He thought the same, "why tf WOULDNT we cross"
You've got it wrong.
This video is like a 3rd or 4th grade level which is fine I guess, but the title doesn’t doesn’t even make sense since that isn’t discussed or answered. Seems like the Smithsonian budget is getting tight.
I hope they dont remove this statue for the woke mob
One thing that always boggled my mind is the river is only knee deep there
Right? It's crazy. Grew up closer to the Hudson. Lots of relatives in Westchester & we were always going into the city from NJ. Move to PA & couldn't believe how shallow spots are.
Knee deep is Horrible when has Ice , Freezing Cold Windy Conditions , Clothing Worn is Not Warm , No Gloves or Warm Boots , Yikes
