Sometimes a superhuman war effort can be considered miraculous. That is especially true if that human accomplishment is immediately followed by just the right weather to complete an objective.
In this story, Fort Ticonderoga in Upstate New York had been taken from the British by the Continental army in May of 1775. Several months later, its large cache of cannons were transported 300 miles to Boston. The effort to do so was stupendous. The cannons were in place in Boston in anticipation of a terrible assault by the British. A strong storm thwarted that plan.
The next day the British General sent word to General George Washington offering to evacuate Boston, leaving the city unmolested (not set on fire) if they were allowed to leave. A few days later the Continental Congress gave their approval, and thus great bloodshed was avoided. Cannons and a storm had made a difference.
This video by William Federer tells this story, including the spiritual faithfulness that called on God for help:
At times the efforts of Convention of States can seem like the dragging sleds across miles of snow--hard work, with a long way to go. Yet in 2024, there is a surge of hopeful activity in many of the uncommitted state legislatures. Before too much longer, the Federal government will be looking at amendment “cannons” that will initiate significant change in Washington, D.C.
