They tried to let the Germans (Hessians) handle us in 1776.

“They tried to let the Germans (Hessians) handle us in 1776.”

A few of my German ancestors apparently fled to Canada, when the Brits surrendered in our Revolutionary War I.

Then, many of their descendants came back to America after we won the second war with the Brits. Some were referred to as moss backs or worse.
