A few years ago, I showed this episode to my nephew and he used it as part of his American history report on George Washington in high school, got an A+
He had two horses shot from under him and bullet holes through his hat and coat. he truly was never wounded in battle he was protected to be the father of America .
A couple of years ago I bought a CD from a well known historian about George Washington. This whole episode was verified. I was shocked that I hadn't heard about this event in my studies in middle school, high school, or college.
The victory of the Continental forces over the British professional army was itself a sign of Divine Providence, in my view. They came close to giving up several times, but Washington kept them going. The defeat of Hessians at Trenton on the day after Christmas, 1776 was much needed.
Read some history. The Continental Army had 400,000 soldiers. The maximum number the British had, including Hessians, was 40,000. The question was why it took seven years and the French fleet to defeat them.
@@charliesmith4072 The Continental Army was never more than 50,000 troops in size including foreign support and they never had more than 18-20,000 men in one place at one time. They were poorly supplied, poorly fed, poorly clothed, poorly housed, had limited numbers of firearms, gun powder, artillery, horses. They were fighting the best professional army at that time, the British regulars. Kudos to the French Fleet for being there when needed, but the Continentals did most of the fighting on land. As for your statement about '400,000 soldiers' the Americans had, the total population of the Colonies at that time was 2 million people-men, women, children, seniors-and they were spread all along the east coast. You seem to be very confused by numbers, I suggest you read a history book or two and then appreciate how great a victory it was to defeat the British. Trying to diminish that achievement as you are smacks of someone with an agenda. What is yours?
@@pimpompoom93726 50,000 at one time, but a total of 400,000 individuals served in the Continental military. What that meant was that there were immediate replacements for all casualties, a luxury the British did not have.
He was protected, never shot and killed.. Yet he died from a throat infection. He took care of everyone else, his family, his animals, yet took little notice of his health. Maybe he thought he was invincible because of that vision he had in 1777. But he wasn't. At any rate, I've no doubt that he was escorted to Heaven by those angels that visited him that cold day. He's in Heaven now, awaiting all of us who welcome Jesus into our hearts.
This was.amazing for quite a few.reasons. it seems that George Washington not only had a.guardian angel but some sort of spiritual guide as well. He endured way.too much to end up unscathed without some kind of divine intervention. I really enjoyed this one!!! Thanks for the video😃 I hope these.remain on YT the episodes of.OSB so one.day.when I'm older and.retire I will appreciate OSB even more!!
Screen capture the video before it is taken down. You can convert the audio to mp3. Then add it back in the audio track option. Making the sound quality as good as the original upload..
Those who doubt the greatness of Washington should read a couple of good biographies of him (WASHINGTON: MAN AND MONUMENT for example). He was undoubtedly one of the great soldier-statesmen of the 18th century. He had in short, a lot of good horse sense. See also that wonderful mini-series from the 1980's here on UA-cam. If anything, his champions have done more to sully him image that his detractors (Parson Weems, for example), but he survives. The great Russian general Kutuzov admired him--he saved his army and won the last battle. After the revolution, the big man in British intelligence said that Washington didn't out fight them; he out spied them. There's many an interesting tale behind that.
Poor Washington has suffered a great deal from people who invent stories like this about him. He was a man with firm beliefs which offended a number of his contemporaries. For example, he refused to kneel to pray. He considered the practice to be a sign of religious fanaticism, but people (like the actor here) portray him kneeling.
Col.Chamberlain at Gettysburg wrote about the sighting of George Washington on a white horse pointing the direction for the Northern troops to follow . To bad One Step Beyond didn't have an episode on this.
Johnny William's, 7understand what you are saying, but that was prevalent at that time. No other mindset was popular at the time, whether or not it should've been
They say that any general but Howe could have beat Washington and any general but Washington could have beat Howe. He wasn't a good general, but he had something that kept the army together long enough to win.

thse series are SO MUCH BETTER in all respects than some full length movies !! superb acting ,editing ...direction ......
Congress hasn't changed much!
Washington was so important to us has Americans it would be good to continue to remember him.
The country has forgotten it's history and holy beginning as the country sanctifies the likes of a felonious George Floyd

@@pimpompoom93726 My agenda, unlike yours, is historical accuracy, not mindless hero worship. All the handicaps you refer to were self-inflicted.
@@pimpompoom93726 And I have done a bit more than "read a history book or two". I have a degree in U.S. history from the U of Chicago.

And what of his slaves?
The actor portraying Washington resembles Washington in his drawings well!

ONE NATION…UNDER GOD IS NOT JUST WORDS
yes and George Washington had many spiritual encounters with the Lord his God ......Angelic visits as well...
Guardian Angel saved him.
I actually read about his dream.

Was waiting for Washington to admit years earlier he had chopped down a cherry tree, but he never said anything about it.
I tossed a coin worth two bits and it came up heads. My head was on it!
Everybody thinking they hot till they realize its a such thing called levels.
