Summary
This article addresses the practice, during the Amercan Revolution, of Britain contracting with several German principalities to use their troops in America. These troops were the "Hessians." Britain used 30,000 Hessian troops, and about 17,000 of them came from Hesse-Cassel .The author quotes a letter from the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel to one of his ministers in which he is concerned about the payments he should receive from the British for his wounded or killed soldiers. He believes there was a miscalculation.
