Fun Fact: That famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware? He was in retreat. Another fun fact; He never won a battle.

@howardmctroy3303 George Washington’s army defeated a garrison of Hessian mercenaries at Trenton. That painting of Washington crossing the Delaware in retreat was after that skirmish. While fleeing the approaching British. As for Yorktown, Washington and his French ally, Lt. Gen. Comte de Rochambeau, were assured critical naval support from a French fleet commanded by Adm. Comte de Grasse.

@terribletomvu37 The painting depicts a scene from the American Revolutionary War, when the original was actually painted in 1851 in Germany -- 75 years after the Battle of Trenton. German-born artist Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze, who was born 40 years after the battle, painted "Washington Crossing the Delaware" in Düsseldorf. Look at the flag. It didn't even exist in Washington's time. It's a steaming pile of propaganda. Who stands up in a rowboat?
