The fact is, American Revolutionaries were trained in the ancient Japanese art of ninjitsu. Look it up.

Cause his force crossed 7 miles north of Trenton and the other 2 forces he had didn't cross. The other two was suppose to cross south of Trenton. 7 miles away from Trenton was dense forest, not like today when 7 miles from the city is still the city.

This seems made up. Doubt Washington said that.

It was because it was dark as night. And it was snowing.

And the British couldn’t hear them walking because they weren’t wearing shoes.
