The severe winter had caused the Americans so many difficulties through the long, hard war. Yet now it also undermined the British attempt to capture Washington.
Interesting how events that seem like a curse turn out to be a blessing. Washington and the continental army had a lot going for them including the bad weather strange as that sounds. It wasn’t easy, but they succeeded through faith and perseverance. This was another revelation about our history. Great post, Tara.
Thank you Tara. Could the capture of George Washington change the final outcome of the war or would it have hastened the eventual American victory?
Either way, we won't know because of Devine Providence, in my opinion. George Washington was protected from serious harm many times during his life and I for one believe that God intervened on his behalf, for our Nation and our freedom.
There are so many accounts of "Divine Intervention" throughout our history. What a tragedy it would be to no longer deserve our Creator's blessing. We'd better wake up, and soon.
Tara, I never knew about this! Thank you. Washington seems to have been destined to succeed in this instance as in so many. On other occasions, he could have been killed in action from an earlier period as well, when he was fighting the French in the French & Indian war. As a large man he was an easy target but the bullets never harmed him. Thank God for him and for America.

They really should have been fighting in Spanish Florida to avoid the inclement weather! 😆
