Corrected again (Hessian troops)

My good friend Bob Clarke has taken issue with the phrase in my previous post: 'hirelings of the British pursuing the American colonists'. He points out that a good many of those fighting with the Hessians would have been subjects of the Elector of Hanover, who was George III. They had a perfect right to be in America fighting for their sovereign against those who rebelled against his authority.
