I truly believe that God was on the American side! Providence has magical ways of interfering in Human lives. I have experienced it myself many times in my life and truly trust and believe in it.
Fog on the escape from Brooklyn
The hurricanes in Caribbean that brought the French fleet to Chesapeake.
Many occasions that Washington was in front of his troops and the bullets missed him or the enemy did not fire.
Treacherous generals that wanted his job and had no interest in the country or her well beings had to be humiliated or disgraced by their own actions. In my opinion those are all pointing to the hands of the Providence.
Yes, thank you Tara. We should continue to celebrate the anniversary of the end of the Revolutionary War and the victory that came with it.
The men and women who fought and supported our independence and freedom gave so much to achieve victory. General George Washington asked his troops to attend a worship service to thank the Divine and we should continue to honor his wishes by celebrating the victory over the mighty British Crown.
243 years have passed since the occasion of the outcome of the war was assured when General Cornwallis surrendered to General Washington. I agree with General Washington, it was a miracle that we achieved victory and in my opinion, Providence rode the shoulder of the Americans in quest of their independence from the tyrannical British Crown.
“Divine Service is to be performed tomorrow in the several Brigades or “Divisions. The Commander in Chief earnestly recommends that the troops not on duty should universally attend with that seriousness of Deportment and gratitude of Heart which the recognition of such reiterated and astonishing interpositions of Providence demand of us."
Amen.
“Today, then, is the anniversary of a miracle. Let's celebrate and defend the freedom that was achieved for us that day.”. Amen, Tara. Thank you.
Through it all, Washington held the army together. Yes, he made strategic errors, and he has been criticized for it.
Amazing what people expect from war. War is messy but sometimes necessary in order to throw off the yoke of oppression. People criticize victors even today. But warriors can be forgiven for mistakes when the country knows their motives can lead to freedom rather than oppression.
But, overall h avoided the folly of losing his army. Only divine intervention saved the army and Washington at Brooklyn, though. He was contained like an animal in a trap.
God Bless these Patriots who struggled, persevered, and overcame immeasurable odds to secure our Independence! Washington was not perfect, as you pointed out, but he was the right man for the task at hand.. Leadership is a quality that, sometimes, is abstract. Remember that when we all go to the polls in a few days.
God has not closed the book on America’s freedom quest. As George Washington believed, “When we (patriots) seek the Righteousness of God, HE will continue to draw the people, closer, by sharing the miracles of. God. Those same miracles that George experienced, will serve as a lining of our protective armor. Watch and see !
Yes, as patriots of this nation we must turn to God in repentance for her many sins and pray for the deliverance of our nation from the evil grasping at our country.
🇺🇸 It seems odd that we remember certain milestones, the battles that began our fight for Independence, and the 4th of July, but the day the struggle ended and our freedom secured, that day passes in relative obscurity. Odd. 🇺🇲
What a victory! Hard fought, hard won and even Cornwallis was stunned by it all. His unwillingness to show his face at the official surrender shows how UNgentlemanly he was. The Brits refused complete acquiescence even through our Civil War and pushed the Confederate forces in ways that prolonged the conflict. Over the years we have become allies, but it was not so for far too long.
Victory was a miracle, so true regarding the lack of basic supplies; food, clothing, weapons and housing. Promises were made and broken by the future lawmakers which were to govern the new country.
Looks like we survived well and lawmakers still hold true.

Yes, I agree. Very significant influence in the war for certain!

Repentance must start in His Body!

Thanks, TR!
A day more people should know. It was not the date papers were signed making things official, but is was the date we really won our freedom!

Good story Tara.

Divine Providence throughout the war gave us our victory!!! Washington knew it!!! We are truly a Nation under God!!
Thank you, Tara.
