Crossing The Delaware: Washington's Courage on Christmas Eve
In this special Christmas Eve episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes political theorist and constitutional scholar Matthew Spalding for a powerful conversation exploring one of the most consequential moments in American history: George Washington’s daring crossing of the Delaware River and the Battle of Trenton.
Spalding explains why Christmas of 1776 marked a decisive turning point in the American Revolution. As Washington led the Continental Army across an icy river and launched a surprise attack against Hessian forces at Trenton, the momentum of a seemingly lost war was reversed. The victories at Trenton and Princeton, Spalding argues, transformed both the strategic direction of the conflict and the spirit of the American people, proving that liberty could withstand the greatest empire on earth.
Smith and Spalding connect this pivotal Christmas moment to the broader story of the American founding, including the Declaration of Independence and the ideas that defined a new nation. Drawing from Spalding’s new book, The Making of the American Mind: The Making of Our Declaration of Independence, they explore how the Declaration was not merely a statement of separation from Great Britain, but a deliberate and reasoned argument grounded in history, natural law, and moral principle.
This Christmas Eve episode reveals how Americans became a people through shared sacrifice, deliberation, and courage—and why the Declaration of Independence remains the defining expression of America’s identity, purpose, and understanding of liberty.
