Revolutionary War

I found this nice little quote on Caralee's blog: "The success of the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War came about through men who were raised up by God for this special purpose. You must read the Declaration of Independence to feel its inspiration. You merely need to study history to recognize that a group of fledgling colonies defeating the world’s most powerful nation stemmed from a force greater than man. Where else in the world do we find a group of men together in one place at one time who possessed greater capacity and wisdom than the founding fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and others? But it was not to their own abilities that they gave the credit. They acknowledged Almighty God and were certain of the impossibility of their success without his help. Benjamin Franklin made an appeal for daily prayers in the Constitutional Convention. In that appeal he said, “If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I believe without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the building of Babel.” (Mark E. Petersen, The Great Prologue, Deseret Book Co., 1975, p. 88.)

So I randomly ran acrossed this fictional series about the revolutionary war at the library and it's crazy that the well trained England army couldn't overtake the colonies. Especially since they had like what 20,000 soldiers and the colonies had like 2,000 untrained soldiers and the funniest part is that King Henry 3 had to get Germany (or something like that involved after awhile also) So George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and all of them were quite inspired with how they handled things and won the war. Which is great for us because that would be no fun to have to be apart of England's controlling ways still.
