The spirit that defines American victory has withstood the test of time and is etched into our nation's history. From World War II-era Liberty Ships like the American Victory, which symbolize resilience and determination, to iconic moments such as General Washington's public notice relating to Lord Cornwallis' surrender, these chapters embody America's unwavering resolve. The lithographs depicting battles like Saratoga in 1777 or Princeton in 1777 serve as vivid reminders that even against formidable odds, Americans emerged triumphant. These victories were not limited to land; they extended across oceans during conflicts such as Baltimore's Fort McHenry attack in 1812.
