That was directed at Nate. He was saying that Hessians were mercenaries implemented by the British in the American Revolution, notably at the Battle of Trenton. Whilst this is indeed true, it should be noted that the "Hessians", as a people, should not only be associated with a minor battle that occurred some 250 years ago. They are still a people who are alive and well today, being anybody from the German state of Hesse, which includes such notable and populous cities of Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, and Darmstadt. Hessians are to Hesse as Californians are to California. Their recognition in world history should not be in a singular event that took place centuries ago.
