## Resource

Delaware’s quiet heroics helped ignite American independence—once part of Pennsylvania, it boldly declared its own freedom in 1776. Caesar Rodney, battling cancer and riding 18 grueling hours through a storm to cast the vote that secured independence, became a symbol of sacrifice. Amid internal divisions between revolutionary north and loyalist south, Delaware sent 800 troops—the “Delaware Blues”—who fought in key battles, including Washington’s legendary Christmas night crossing. Their courage, grit, and unity in the face of chaos helped turn the tide and shaped the birth of a nation.
