Learn of how the events of Washington Crossing the Delaware on Christmas of 1776 and the ensuing Battles of Trenton and Princeton were a turning point in the war.  How the events of these 10 days not only kept the war alive for the American cause and enshrined George Washington's reputation as a leader, but also how they encapsulated the characteristics of the war as fought by the Americans under the Republican Ideology of their movement for independence.
