American History and Heritage

Rewriting History

The last three generations of Americans simply have not been told the truth about American history.

Our children's history books are being rewritten so they no longer hear the truth about the tremendous influence of God on America's founding fathers, on the great documents they drafted to establish a true republic based, on the critical tripod of liberty, life, and family.

Words like duty and honor and country have fallen out of vogue, and the stories of the faith of men like George Washington, Patrick Henry, Noah Webster and so many others are simply left out.

Here is one of the stories you didn't learn in school and should have...

GEORGE WASHINGTON - 1755 FRENCH & INDIAN WAR
In the French & Indian war in 1755, George Washington commanded 1300 troops against the Indians in a woodland battle. Washington's officers (on horseback) and most of his troops were cut down. At the end of the battle Washington was the only officer that remained & still on horseback. Afterwards he found 4 bullet holes in his jacket & wrote to his wife that God had protected him.

Fifteen years later, the Indian chief that fought against Washington traveled a good distance to meet him when he heard that he was in the area of the battleground. This chief stated that he had commanded his braves to concentrate on killing Washington and had personally shot at him 17 times. He wanted to meet the man that "God wouldn't let die".

This exciting story and Washington's letter, used to be in the American history books. In an effort to degrade American heroes that depended on God, American history books are being revised and this story & letter have been removed in this century.
