In 1776 the pioneers t thelr kicks, But the Engltsh th t they were cool, Soon they found out t y were fools, Because the colonists got thelr licks. The English tlghtened thelr control, Whlch hurt the colonists soul, Lexington and Concord started lt all, But the Brltlsh were bound to fall. Men, women and chlldren dld flght, Until the Brltlsh saw the llght, The Liberty Bell wlll always toll, For freedom is ln our soul. Chrls Seeholzer 1776 was a long tlme ago, But people back then had one mlghtyefoe. America was at war with England t n, It was a terrible time for all kln. Many battles were fought on land and at sea, But that was because they wanted to be free. They fought bravely and many were kllled, But a very strong country they dld build. They got their freedom and they deserved lt, And for our generatlon they have preserved lt. So we better get onthe ball, Or our country wlll surely fall. Marte Feyedelem Drum - Drum went the drummer, Tweet - Tweet went the piper. Away swang the Red, White, and Blue. The men marched on too. The bell rang loud and true, The people's horns dld blow, We're free, We're free. Connie Matso There once was a Klng who taxed our tea, So we dumped ln ln the sea. But when the Klng saw what we had done, He dldn't think lt was much hm. When he sent some troops, Which were ln large groups. They found out the had news, They told the King lt would not jlve, That's how we won ln l7'l5. Paul Matso The Redeoats Bang the sound went about, Then there was a shout. People screaming, Redcoats scream g, Pushing people around. Walking them lnto the ground. People running everywhere, Redcoats kllllng w thout a care. Houses ln a flame, No one will take the blame. There ls no sound, No one runnlng around. All there ls, ls a dog named Rover. lt's all over. They'll be back someday, Then the Redcoats wlll pay. Sherry Wlllls The Boston Tea Party The Brltlsh of the sea, Declded to put taxes on our tea. So we boarded thelr ship, And threw the tea into the sea. When the Brltlsh discovered the tea, They sent more troops by sea. Boston Harbor was closed, But how the Brltlsh were opposed. Colonlsts helped thelr fellow men, With much ald they dld send. For our freedom can't be suppressed wmcn new me nriusn nm confessedl Mike Seeholzer When the Bicentennial comes, Little kids think lt's just fun. But as we all know, .Ougt gorefathers fcgght through the snow. u or ou ou ow. That's what hippened long ago, About 1776 or so. Tony Slclllano Over the coloules the land was free, And the people were wllllng to toll. Then came that question of that tea, Which made the colonists begin to coll. Soon came great important men, And to freedom these rebels led their kln. Adams, Jefferson, Henry and Ben, To lose what they gave would be a sin. Karen Seeholzer The Hard Llle It must be hard, To travel so far. Start from nothing, But to bulld to something. They planted crops, And raised stock, To keep them allve, And that was no lle. Sam Slclllano A young lad asked of history, And what lt ts to us. Is lt somethinglreal? Or ls lt somet Ing that is made up? Iwas puzzled for a moment, I dldn't understand. History ls not a story, It ls all about our land. Hlstory tells us of rebels in 1776, And the Brltlsh who tried to take over our land It tells us of people who gladly fought back, Wlth sword and gun ln hand. Oh, said the lad about history, Wow, sald I about history, lt ls really no mystery. Tlm Kllko The Liberty Bell Two hundred years ago, We rang the llberty bell. Though the bell took a hard blow, We took lt all very well. The bell rang freedom for us, Although lt broke itself. Everyone thought of lt as a trust, Because it stands for us. As I walk along the land of Valley Forge, I thlnk of all the days before, When we fought against the Brltlsh ln a war I think of all the brave, Who have gone to the grave. We surely won, But lt wasn't that much.tun. Again and again we fought with the gun, But we will preserve our land, Over and over agaln. J lm Seeholzer Long, long ago oxen pulled covered wagons, Across land to a territory called Oregon. The journey was long and dangerous, But those who traveled thls trall, I Were strong, determined and fabulous. For they found they were in a land that was plentiful, sue, qulet, free and beautiful. But most of all they were full of glee, Because they had become free. Debbie Seeholzer For two hundred years, - the bell has not moved. And though we grew, lt stood very true. The bell wlll always ring, Then and forever. America wlll always sing, For freedom wlll leave us never. Vinnie Thorne S..--- ' A. ,lmu2W1 f ,-xv X 'b- A as N .I x , 1--NNGX
