They weren't British troops, they were Hessian mercenaries hired by the British King

Not sure how accurate this is. Netflix has a series that is fairly close to actual history called "Turn". one episode depicts this event. it was very cold the night it happened.

Colin, yeah, it says that in the information.

The troops attacked were German Hessians. The answers are confusing and misleading.
