So 73 00:02:27,477 --> 00:02:29,388 I wanted to... Instead of talking about, you 74 00:02:29,388 --> 00:02:31,537 know, for the July Independence day, which is 75 00:02:31,537 --> 00:02:31,696 tomorrow. 76 00:02:33,062 --> 00:02:34,809 You know, we all know about Paul Revere 77 00:02:34,809 --> 00:02:36,818 and the minute, and we've all heard about, 78 00:02:37,032 --> 00:02:39,335 you know, 17 76, and, you know, that's 79 00:02:39,335 --> 00:02:40,803 all real real 80 00:02:41,255 --> 00:02:43,557 well known in our American history. But the 81 00:02:43,557 --> 00:02:45,541 word of 18 12 is not. And it's 82 00:02:45,541 --> 00:02:46,652 a fascinating war. 83 00:02:47,938 --> 00:02:49,529 It took place over about 3 years. A 84 00:02:49,529 --> 00:02:51,040 lot of us in Michigan, Bowman. 85 00:02:51,677 --> 00:02:52,870 A lot of war of 18 12 was 86 00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:55,511 fought in Michigan Detroit and you know, the 87 00:02:55,511 --> 00:02:57,264 the fort of Detroit, I think it was 88 00:02:57,264 --> 00:02:57,423 called. 89 00:02:58,936 --> 00:03:01,406 And so a lot of history in Michigan. 90 00:03:03,569 --> 00:03:05,240 So it's also... It's known as a forgotten 91 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,831 war in the second word of independence. 92 00:03:08,262 --> 00:03:10,273 And reason I'm bringing up this war is 93 00:03:10,273 --> 00:03:12,350 because the Lord is in the prayer, the 94 00:03:12,430 --> 00:03:14,428 Lord has a plant for the Us. He 95 00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:17,065 always has. It's an interesting timing that the 96 00:03:17,145 --> 00:03:19,065 Lord brought the Us on the scene, 97 00:03:20,651 --> 00:03:21,682 you know, the Us did a lot of 98 00:03:21,682 --> 00:03:22,474 wicked things. Yes, 99 00:03:23,426 --> 00:03:24,798 but still the 100 00:03:25,503 --> 00:03:26,640 the basic 101 00:03:27,015 --> 00:03:28,925 Christian principles that we'll see through some of 102 00:03:28,925 --> 00:03:29,960 these generals, 103 00:03:30,358 --> 00:03:31,790 some of the prayers from some of these 104 00:03:31,790 --> 00:03:34,269 generals are just fantastic. And I've read before 105 00:03:34,586 --> 00:03:36,650 prayers from some of the presidents that are 106 00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:38,078 just beautiful prayers, 107 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:41,983 beautiful speeches that are very biblical based So 108 00:03:41,983 --> 00:03:43,520 there was a lot more 109 00:03:44,694 --> 00:03:45,912 Christianity. A lot more people 110 00:03:46,448 --> 00:03:48,920 following Christ back then in a in a 111 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,650 very deep and real way. There's such person. 112 00:03:51,008 --> 00:03:53,021 I mean, they, they came here literally 113 00:03:53,397 --> 00:03:54,433 for religious freedom. 114 00:03:54,991 --> 00:03:57,141 And once they had it, they exercised it, 115 00:03:57,619 --> 00:03:59,553 and it was fascinating 116 00:04:00,024 --> 00:04:02,259 but the lord did not want the... You 117 00:04:02,259 --> 00:04:03,855 know, we won the first battle, but Britain 118 00:04:03,855 --> 00:04:06,329 was far greater than the young America was. 119 00:04:06,887 --> 00:04:07,786 And so 120 00:04:08,738 --> 00:04:10,334 the War of 18 12 was actually the 121 00:04:10,334 --> 00:04:14,084 first war that the Us declared on another 122 00:04:14,084 --> 00:04:14,244 country. 123 00:04:15,201 --> 00:04:17,450 It wasn't the other way around. Us were 124 00:04:17,450 --> 00:04:20,959 going after Great Britain because they have tried 125 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:22,634 to put sanctions on us, they're they're seizing 126 00:04:22,634 --> 00:04:24,867 our men. They're seizing, you know, a thousand 127 00:04:24,867 --> 00:04:26,716 of our boats because at the time, 128 00:04:27,831 --> 00:04:30,779 Great Britain was battling Napoleon and France. And 129 00:04:30,779 --> 00:04:33,168 that's another huge interesting fact that there was 130 00:04:33,168 --> 00:04:35,182 a huge distraction for 131 00:04:36,289 --> 00:04:36,766 great Britain, 132 00:04:37,642 --> 00:04:40,426 fighting deployment. An unemployment was AAA vicious vicious 133 00:04:40,426 --> 00:04:41,301 fighter, and 134 00:04:42,017 --> 00:04:44,736 it was huge problem for great britain. As 135 00:04:44,815 --> 00:04:46,031 Might great britain was 136 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,733 a very good problem. So 137 00:04:49,108 --> 00:04:51,035 they didn't wanna really spend a lot of 138 00:04:51,035 --> 00:04:52,634 effort. Have the ability to spend a lot 139 00:04:52,634 --> 00:04:55,274 of effort coming after the Us. But when 140 00:04:55,274 --> 00:04:57,115 the work with napoleon was over, they had 141 00:04:57,115 --> 00:04:59,194 all the resources and battle hardened soldiers and 142 00:04:59,194 --> 00:04:59,514 everything. 143 00:05:00,089 --> 00:05:02,555 They could possibly need, but the timing was 144 00:05:02,555 --> 00:05:05,578 just so that the Us got by and 145 00:05:05,578 --> 00:05:07,885 they didn't come after the Us a third 146 00:05:07,885 --> 00:05:08,123 time. 147 00:05:09,093 --> 00:05:09,331 So, 148 00:05:10,286 --> 00:05:12,058 Britain had a kind of a skeleton, 149 00:05:13,864 --> 00:05:16,091 not as great of a a military as... 150 00:05:16,329 --> 00:05:17,601 You know, it wasn't there all their a 151 00:05:17,601 --> 00:05:19,369 soldiers.

And then the third 165 00:05:48,187 --> 00:05:50,273 and final battle which is supposed to be 166 00:05:50,408 --> 00:05:52,888 the end all for the Us.

The American 223 00:07:48,951 --> 00:07:52,072 forces so confused it turned into an awful 224 00:07:52,072 --> 00:07:53,504 route very quickly, 225 00:07:53,981 --> 00:07:56,130 and the road to Washington Lee wide open 226 00:07:56,130 --> 00:07:56,687 to the British. 227 00:07:57,483 --> 00:07:57,983 So 228 00:07:58,294 --> 00:08:01,482 First battle done.

And they got to Washington in 237 00:08:14,763 --> 00:08:15,081 a day. 238 00:08:16,352 --> 00:08:17,703 We didn't...

We there was no 242 00:08:24,089 --> 00:08:25,386 defending the 243 00:08:26,083 --> 00:08:26,561 White House. 244 00:08:27,359 --> 00:08:29,353 Once in Washington, the British burned the White 245 00:08:29,512 --> 00:08:29,752 House, 246 00:08:31,041 --> 00:08:33,030 after sitting out, they they had made a 247 00:08:33,348 --> 00:08:35,178 a meal. They were getting, you know, the 248 00:08:35,178 --> 00:08:36,769 heads of cabinet together to have a meal, 249 00:08:37,246 --> 00:08:38,598 and they had to leave because of British 250 00:08:38,598 --> 00:08:40,527 were coming. And they and they split. 251 00:08:41,405 --> 00:08:42,783 Everybody had to leave all the 252 00:08:43,321 --> 00:08:44,917 heads of state, and 253 00:08:45,875 --> 00:08:47,493 it says the meal was prepared 254 00:08:48,524 --> 00:08:49,503 by Dolly Madison, 255 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,715 the staff had to leave.

And they're probably just saying 261 00:09:00,335 --> 00:09:02,484 these Americans, doesn't gonna be the easiest battle 262 00:09:02,484 --> 00:09:02,802 ever, 263 00:09:03,771 --> 00:09:05,281 who knows that the conversation was?

A number of houses collapsed killing 287 00:09:59,910 --> 00:10:02,690 the British soldiers taking shelter therein. 288 00:10:03,405 --> 00:10:06,240 1 British officer reported seeing cannons lifted off 289 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,118 a ground and thrown through the air. 290 00:10:08,677 --> 00:10:10,456 Red coats on the streets of Washington, 291 00:10:11,554 --> 00:10:13,792 trying to enforce a curfew were forced to 292 00:10:13,792 --> 00:10:15,230 live prostate in the mud, 293 00:10:15,870 --> 00:10:15,924 the 294 00:10:16,682 --> 00:10:18,118 Based on the first firsthand accounts, 295 00:10:18,676 --> 00:10:21,308 weather historians generally agree that the storm that 296 00:10:21,308 --> 00:10:23,802 struck Washington on 08/25/1814 297 00:10:24,180 --> 00:10:25,536 sparked 1 or more tornadoes. 298 00:10:26,348 --> 00:10:28,021 As a storm began to subside, 299 00:10:28,658 --> 00:10:30,411 1 of the British officers in command of 300 00:10:30,411 --> 00:10:33,142 the invasion emerged from his shelter and said 301 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:34,793 to 1 of the inhabitants of Washington, 302 00:10:35,764 --> 00:10:37,835 Great God, Madam. Is this the kind of 303 00:10:37,835 --> 00:10:40,087 storm to which you are accustomed in this 304 00:10:40,225 --> 00:10:40,942 infer country? 305 00:10:43,028 --> 00:10:45,739 She reply she responded. No, sir. This is 306 00:10:45,739 --> 00:10:46,717 a special 307 00:10:47,094 --> 00:10:50,123 inner position of providence to drive our enemies 308 00:10:50,123 --> 00:10:50,761 from the city. 309 00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:55,779 The quick wit officer shot back, not so, 310 00:10:55,937 --> 00:10:58,581 Madam. It is rather to aid your enemy 311 00:10:58,636 --> 00:11:00,798 in the destruction of your city. Which is 312 00:11:00,798 --> 00:11:01,436 absolutely not true. 313 00:11:03,589 --> 00:11:04,865 But there can be no doubt that the 314 00:11:04,945 --> 00:11:06,482 Tornado that struck Washington 315 00:11:06,859 --> 00:11:09,172 that day did more to save the capital 316 00:11:09,172 --> 00:11:11,893 than the United States army ever did. The 317 00:11:11,893 --> 00:11:14,436 fires were largely extinguished and the British limp 318 00:11:14,436 --> 00:11:15,311 back to their ships. 319 00:11:16,741 --> 00:11:19,126 There's 7 recorded tornadoes in Washington. 320 00:11:19,539 --> 00:11:21,238 3 never made f 1 321 00:11:22,096 --> 00:11:24,833 in the last 200 years. So this 322 00:11:26,411 --> 00:11:26,911 is 323 00:11:27,862 --> 00:11:30,570 not just a random act. It's just a... 324 00:11:31,048 --> 00:11:32,344 It was a a fascinating 325 00:11:34,313 --> 00:11:36,008 thing that the lord did to 326 00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:38,714 to preserve her our little country.

Now There's 334 00:11:55,454 --> 00:11:56,721 another attack that came from the north. We... 335 00:11:56,959 --> 00:11:57,751 I was talking about it earlier, 336 00:11:58,306 --> 00:11:59,598 and it lasted 337 00:12:00,304 --> 00:12:02,542 It was an upside down battle. We had 338 00:12:02,542 --> 00:12:05,498 less men than the opposition, and it only 339 00:12:05,498 --> 00:12:05,998 lasted 340 00:12:06,697 --> 00:12:08,215 36 hours and we won. 341 00:12:08,869 --> 00:12:10,306 There's not a whole lot information I I 342 00:12:10,306 --> 00:12:11,663 couldn't find on the on the general that 343 00:12:11,663 --> 00:12:13,020 led those that that battle. 344 00:12:14,457 --> 00:12:16,293 But it was a very quick battle, decisive 345 00:12:16,293 --> 00:12:18,383 and we won, and that was over. So 346 00:12:18,383 --> 00:12:20,773 now the third and final battle that was 347 00:12:20,773 --> 00:12:23,162 tremendous is with Jackson and New orleans. 348 00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:27,039 And so I wanna go and read about 349 00:12:27,238 --> 00:12:28,612 who andrew Jackson 350 00:12:28,986 --> 00:12:31,131 as a man was, what he believed in, 351 00:12:31,608 --> 00:12:33,912 What his who his god was, what 352 00:12:34,469 --> 00:12:35,422 what he was all about. 353 00:12:38,146 --> 00:12:38,465 So, 354 00:12:41,256 --> 00:12:44,046 Andrew Jackson, New Orleans, defender and finale. 355 00:12:44,937 --> 00:12:47,637 Andrew Jackson's national prayer.
