Death-defying Escape from New York - Mind Blowing Miracles of the American Revolution - Part 3

Abide in Liberty

It's no wonder that American History in public schools went the way of the dodo about the same time that God was unceremoniously thrust from the public square back in the 60's. I've spent years studying the American Revolution, and you simply cannot make an honest study of the American Revolution without coming to the conclusion that, either the Americans were cosmically lucky to an unfathomable degree or they were supported by the hand of God. This episode is the third in a series of episodes on some of the coolest miracles from the American Revolution. In this episode, I cover George Washington's miraculous escape from New York when, by all accounts, the American Revolution should have ended then and there.
