General George Washington

Commander-In-Chief of the colonial army, Washington suffers many British and Hessian defeats throughout the beginning of the war. The Continental Congress and some of his own generals are even beginning to conspire against him. He is down to only around 2,000 men and most of them are sick and weak. On New Year's, which is only a few days away, the soldiers' enlistments would end and most of the men would quit and go home.

Washington needed a major victory to inspire the men to keep fighting. This is when Chase and his grandfather appear in camp. Chase immediately becomes the son that Washington never had. Chase understands the situation and comes up with a plan to surprise-attack the Hessians the morning after Christmas. Washington loves the idea and immediately begins to organize the battle. In the mean time, Washington sends Chase with Clark to scout the Hessian camp.

On the night of the crossing, Washington is nervous. It is nearing morning and the men have not finished crossing yet. He is informed that he is needed more on the opposite side of the river, so Washington invites a few of his most trusted companions to cross the river with him.

While they are approaching the Hessian camp, a farmer tells the army that there are two guards in the schoolhouse. Washington realizes that they will alert the Hessian army and the entire plan would be ruined. Washington sends Hamilton to bring another soldier with him to eliminate the guards. A while later, Hamilton and Chase return successfully and the army continues to march.

After a quick and decisive battle with the Hessians, Washington sends Chase to accept Colonel Rall's sword to show disrespect to Rall for not showing mercy to his troops.
