The Winter Patriots explores one of the darkest moments of the American Revolution and how General George Washington was able to save the cause of independence through one brilliant military campaign. Follow Washington’s forces as they cross the icy Delaware River to surprisingly win the Battle of Trenton, and watch as Washington crosses the river once more at the Battle of Princeton.
