You are right and wrong, Sully2018. While Hashem did help the Jews escape by empowering Moses with the use of the plagues, it was the strength and will of the people that ultimately made them free. Most Jews will teach, as I do, that Hashem gives man life, and He gives him power, but it is ultimately the free will of man to do with the power what he wishes. The slaves could have said "oh, but we'll never make it out...", but they didn't, they "chopped 'em down", e.g. the Pharoah and his armies, and then marched through the desert to freedom. Matisyahu makes me proud to be a Jew :)
