19th May 1780, an unusual and apocalyptic darkening of the sky to near blackness, occurs around midday in New England, during the American Revolution, thought by some to be the beginning of the end of the world. Known as ‘New England’s Dark Day’, it was seen over New England, and as south as New Jersey, where residents were forced to light candles in the middle of the day. The dark day was preceded a few days before by a red sun, moon, and a yellow sky. Abigail Adams, wife of the second president John Adams, observed from Braintree Massachusetts, ‘About 8 oclock in the Evening almost Instantaneously the Heavens were covered with Egyptian Darkness’. The cause is now known to have been the result of forest fires in Ontario, Canada.
