An Appeal To Heaven Flag 3\' X 5\' Washington\'s Cruisers Historical Banner #2

In 1775 the colonies of the New World were nearing a period that wouldchange the course of world historyforever. It was the beginning of the

American Revolution. The British Empire and its powerful military occupied Boston and tension in the colonies was escalating. A leading

statesman and general, George Washington, proposed intercepting incoming British ships providing needed supplies to the fledgling military.

The popular vote in Philadelphia disagreed with any attempt that might upset the king, especially after the events such as the well-known Boston

Tea Party.

Regardless, GeneralWashington took it upon himself to commission six privately owned schooners to start his ownnavy. Rumored to be at the

general’s expense, the fleet was called “Washington’s Secret Navy”and all boats were to have “AnAppeal to Heaven”flag flown upon them. The

white flagdawning an evergreen tree in the center with the moniker “AnAppeal to Heaven” became thesymbol of righteous justificationfor

the colonies fighting to secure their God-given rights.
