 American Minute with Bill Federer

 January 3

 Frederick the Great of Prussia called these ten days "the most
 brilliant in the world's history."

 After winning the Battle of Trenton, Christmas night, George
 Washington's small force met General Cornwallis' 8,000 man British
 army.

 The night before the battle, Washington left his campfires burning
 and silently marched his soldiers around the back of the British camp
 at Princeton, New Jersey.

 At daybreak, JANUARY 3, 1777, Washington attacked, capturing three
 regiments of British troops. Enthusiasm swept America.

 Yale President Ezra Stiles stated in an Election Address before the
 Governor and General Assembly of Connecticut:

 "In our lowest and most dangerous state, in 1776 and 1777, we
 sustained ourselves against the British Army of 60,000 troops,
 commanded by...the ablest generals Britain could procure throughout
 Europe, with a naval force of 22,000 seamen in above 80 men-of-war.

 Who but a Washington, inspired by Heaven, could have conceived the
 surprise move upon the enemy at Princeton-or that Christmas eve when
 Washington and his army crossed the Delaware?"

 Ezra Stiles concluded:

 "The United States are under peculiar obligations to become a holy
 people unto the Lord our God."
