Historians and scholars maintain that had that decision not been made, the war would have a mute point. But as history indicates, not only did Washington strike a decisive victory at Hessians, he then had another victory shortly thereafter at Princeton. With the extension of enlistments by many soldiers and Washington's decision to spend the winter in Morristown New Jersey, the British had no choice but to withdraw (Billias
This is not always the case. Some may be educated and economically well off, within particular fundamentalist sects, but use an idealistic vision of the past to provide a solution to what they see is lacking in the contemporary world. This was true of the Muslim Brotherhood of 1929, which used religion as part of its ideology of colonial resistance -- and is also true of many of the
