HISTORY! On MARCH 6, 1776, from his Cambridge Headquarters, General Washington ordered: Thursday, the 7th...being set apart by this Province as a Day of Fasting, Prayer and Humiliation, to implore the Lord and Giver of all victory to pardon our manifold sins and wickedness, and that it would please Him to bless the Continental army with His divine favor and protection, all officers and soldiers are strictly enjoined to pay all due reverence and attention on that day to the sacred duties to the Lord of hosts for His mercies already received, and for those blessings which our holiness and uprightness of life can alone encourage us to hope through His mercy obtain. Coincidentally on that same day, March 7th, British General Howe was assembling 3,000 troops to land and charge up Dorchester Heights, but a violent snowstorm arose causing the sea to be too turbulent for the attack.
