American history is full of stories of how, in times of tribulation and tremendous trials, true heroes emerge. Of course, that doesn’t show up in the various Marxist-based, or N.Y. Times promoted, anti-American history courses. The real history is not propaganda from either side -- it is based on objective observation, and the simple fact that a rag-tag band of colonial volunteers was molded into a legitimate fighting force speaks volumes of truth about heroism arising in times of adversity. In my previous article that touched on General George Washington’s bold turn in mid-winter, I could only summarize how difficult the circumstances were for the six-month-old baby of American Independence. Americans today assume a lot about the history they truly do not know.
