Hessian.

German rulers hired out some of their regular army units to Great Britain to fight against the patriots in the American Revolution.

The hessians were mercenaries meaning soldiers who were hired to fight in a foreign army for remuneration,rather then out of loyalty and patriotism.

Hessians were German military conscripts-not volunteers.

All hessian soldiers came entire units with their usual uniforms,flags,weapons and officers.

The hessians soldiers made up about a quarter of the British fighting force in America.

Hessians soldiers had first landed at Staten Island on August 15,1776.

The continental congress authorized the offer of 50 acres of land to individual hessian soldiers to encourage them to desert.
