🇺🇸 #AMERICA250 - The Fog that Saved Washington
After the Battle of Long Island, Washington’s army was in serious danger.
British forces had won the battle, controlled the area, and expected to trap the Continental Army at Brooklyn Heights, modern-day Brooklyn.
But on the night of August 29–30, 1776, Washington made one of the most important escapes in American history.
Under darkness, silence, and a thick fog over the East River, thousands of American troops were ferried from Brooklyn Heights to Manhattan — right under the noses of the British.
By morning, they were gone.
The Revolution survived.
Long Island wasn’t just where America suffered one of its first major defeats.
It was also where the fight was saved.

We're no longer in a battle just between Republicans and Democrats.
It is now a sharp CONTRAST between people who LOVE our country and its founding principles — and those who want to tear America down!
We are ready for this fight!! 🇺🇸
😡 My heart is breaking watching this...
Justice Clarence Thomas just dropped the TRUTH that every American needs to hear. Progressivism isn’t just some harmless idea — it’s a direct assault on the very soul of this country. It wants to replace God-given rights with government-granted privileges. It demands we become weak, subservient, and dependent.
This is an OUTRAGE. I sure do hope that Congress will finally step up and FIX THIS before it’s too late. Justice Clarence Thomas is a TRUE PATRIOT — a man of courage, conviction, and unwavering love for the Constitution and the America our Founders envisioned.
In a time when so many are afraid to speak truth, he stands tall. I am sure that you are just as OUTRAGED over this as I am. If this video moves you like it moved me, share it. Loudly. Our rights don’t come from Washington. They come from God. And no government will ever take that away from us.
@SenTinaSmith Tina, how intellectually dishonest. There is no way that you cannot understand the dangers of this scotus decision. Why do you advocate for birth tourism and citizenship of children of illegal aliens?
@repdeliaramirez This excerpt is from the Congressional Globe (the official record of congressional debates at the time), 39th Congress, 1st Session, pages 2890–2891 (May 30, 1866).
It's pretty clear what the intention was. Bad decision by SCOTUS.
