"Liberty the American Revolution"

At the beginning of the American Revolution it was clear that the Americana's had quite the battle to fight before them seeing as the Britain army was overly prepared upon their arrival and continued to train throughout the summer months until September. The Britain army even recruited help from Germany asking them for their support, which in return brought them Hessions, already trained German solders for 7 pounds a head. While training in America the Britain and German solders felt uncomfortable in the heat along with the massive amounts of bugs and wild creature's that roamed the area where the settled.

The day is Christmas the time is three a.m and the location is the Hudson river. Quiet and quickly as possible two thousand five hundred solders cross the Hudson ready to attack the Britain's fort which at the time was being guarded by drunk, sleeping Hessions.
