Do you know of these Miracles in American history? 1) A French Armada sailed to set fire to New England, but a hurricane scattered it. 2) Battle of the Wilderness-Washington had four bullets through his coat yet escaped unharmed. 3) Following Boston's Tea Party-Jefferson drafted a Day of Fasting as the British blockaded Boston's harbor. 4) Battles of Lexington & Concord-colonists rallied and chased back the British. 5) Battle of Bunker Hill-“Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes,” was the order as the British were twice repelled. 6) Colonel Knox performed a logistical miracle, moving 59 cannons 300 miles from Fort Ticonderoga to Dorchester Heights, overlooking the British ships. A storm then prevented the British from attacking so they evacuated Boston. 7) Battle of Brooklyn Heights-The war would have ended with an American defeat had not a dense fog allowed 8,000 Americans to escape. 8) Battles of Trenton and Princeton, “in our lowest and most dangerous estate...Washington, inspired by Heaven,” led Americans to victory. 9) Battle of Saratoga-6,000 British troops, astoundingly, were forced to surrender in the New York frontier. 10) Valley Forge-Washington knelt in the snow, and, amazingly, America's army survived the freezing winter, being sustained by the “spirit of liberty.”
