King & Country: Here come the Hessians - March Newsletter

Coming in April from King and Country, the Hessians. Part of the American Revolution series. The Hessians were the German soldiers that fought on behalf of the British in the American Revolution. They comprised of 1/4th of the entire British force. Including ground troups and artillery units. Most of these units were hired out to the British by the German royalty and were made up of criminals, debtors, and conscripts. The Hessians were involved in many of the battles of the American revolution, including the famous Battle of Trenton, where George Washington crossed the Delaware River to attack the British by surprise, capturing over 900 Hessians in the battle.
