Saved by Fog and Blood: The Night the American Revolution Almost Died

The American Revolution almost ended before it truly began. In August 1776, George Washington and the Continental Army were trapped. Backed against the East River in Brooklyn, surrounded by the overwhelming might of the British Empire, the cause of liberty was hours away from total annihilation.

In this video, we dive into the harrowing true story of the Battle of Long Island and the miraculous evacuation that followed. Discover how a combination of elite Maryland bravery, a silent midnight retreat, and a "providential" blanket of fog saved Washington’s army from certain capture.

In this video, you’ll learn:

How the British outmaneuvered Washington in the largest battle of the entire war.

The heroic sacrifice of the "Maryland 400"—the men who died so the Revolution could live.

The logistics of the secret midnight crossing of the East River.

Why many historians believe the "Great Fog" was the single most important weather event in American history.

If Washington had been captured that night, there would be no United States. This is the story of the thin line between a forgotten rebellion and the birth of a nation.
