Answer 1

British troops were having a meeting in her home when she overheard their plans of an attack for the next day at Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania. The next morning, she pretended to go get flour, crossed the British lines, and warned the American troops about the surprise attack. When the British arrived, the Colonial army was ready for battle and defeat the redcoats.

Answer 2

The Revolutionary War has a great impact on the life of Lydia Darragh. Her oldest son joined the army, although the family were Quakers. The British also occupied the house across the street, which resulted in the near eviction of her family on several occasions due to the solders' need for additional space. Yet Darragh is most famously known for alerting Washington to a sneak attack on his troops, a warning she gave to them after being given permission to cross enemy lines to purchase flour. Lydia Darragh (1729 â?? December 28, 1789) was an American woman said to have crossed British lines during the British occupation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the American Revolutionary War, delivering information to George Washington and the Continental Army that warned them of a pending British attack.[2] Contemporary sources claim Darragh's uncorroborated story is historically unsubstantiated.[3]
