I was<br />born in 1729 and died at the age of 60 in 1789. My house was taken over by<br />the top British officers as a conference center. I would listen on to the<br />meetings that were held in my house and then warn the American soldiers.<br />At first I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">didn</span>’t want to get involved but through<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">prayer</span> I came to a conclusion that many would suffer and die if I did not act<br />on the information that I found. Just off of the information that I over<br />heard I saved <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Washington's</span> troops from a terrible defeat. I was interrogated<br />by the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">British</span> officers within my household, because they were suspicious of<br />how <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Washington's</span> troops were prepared for the attack and how they knew<br />what they would need to defeat the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">British</span>. I made many accomplishments in<br />my lifetime. Such as being a women spy which not only helped my country<br />it inspired many other women to do their best and try and accomplish things<br />like I did. My daughter was one of my biggest supporters and was actually<br />the person who ended up speaking of my noble deeds and telling people<br />what amazing things I did with my life. She also helped me influence people<br />women mostly to keep on trying. And those are just some of my many accomplishments, and a small portion of my life.Lydia Darraghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303735251977149566noreply@blogger.com3
