 HE SETTLERS WANTED TO MAKE NEW HOME

SO ACROSS THE APPALACHIAN THEY DECIDED TO GO

THE INDIANS GOT ANGRY SO OUT BROKE A WAR

AT LEAST THE FRENCH DON'T HAVE ALL THAT LAND ANYMORE


KING GEORGE WANTED TO COMPROMISE

BUT THE COLONISTS REFUSED TO APOLOGIZE

SO ACROSS THEY WENT AGAIN

THEY WERE CONFIDENT BUT THEN

THEY WERE PUT IN DEPT AND COULDN'T MAKE A BARGAIN


SO KING GEORGE STARTED UNFAIR TAXES

ON THINGS LIKE SUGAR AND MOLASSES

ON PAPER, STAMPS, AND ENVELOPES

AND TAX COLLECTORS COULDN'T COPE


THE TAXES STARTED VIOLENCE

 THEY COULDN'T TAKE THE SILENCE

THEY PUSHED AND SHOVED, A GUN WENT OFF

PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF A SCOFF


THE TEA ACT MADE EAST INDIA LOTS OF RICHES

AND WITH THE OTHER TAXES THE WOMEN HAD TO DO THEIR OWN STITCHES 

JUST PAY THE TAX OR NO TEA THEY SAID

AND DON'T COMMIT TREASON OR YOUR BE HUNG OR BEHEAD


BARRELS OF TEA WERE THROWN INTO THE OCEAN

THE SONS OF LIBERTY CAUSED QUITE THE COMMOTION

THEY DRESSED UP AS THE MOHAWK TRIBE

IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD TO DESCRIBE

BECAUSE ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE ON THE PATRIOTS SIDE


THE INTOLERABLE/COERCIVE ACTS

BROUGHT BRITISH SOLDIERS INTO PEOPLES HOUSES

-IT MUST HAVE BEEN PACKED

THEN THEY BLOCKADED THE HARBOR

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THEY COULDN'T PUSH IT ANY FARTHER-


THE PATRIOTS REALLY WANTED TO GAIN ALL OF THEIR RIGHTS BACK

SO THEY WROTE A PETITION JUST TO GET KING GEORGE ON THE RIGHT TRACK

THEY WANTED THE RIGHT TO GATHER TOGETHER

AND THEY EVEN SET FOR PARLIAMENT TO ANSWER


AT THE BATTLE OF LEXINGTON AND CONCORD WAS VERY UNWISE

BECAUSE THE BRITISH FAILED TO STEAL THE SUPPLIES

ONCE THEY CAME THE STARTED TO FIGHT A WAR

BUT WHEN THEY CAME BACK ALL THE GUNS WENT OUT THE DOOR


SO THE PATRIOTS FORMED A STRONG ARMY

Now, let's hope they are set free!

 First we start with the French and Indian war, the British just can’t take any more,

 so their leader King George set a Proclamation,

 about precipitation,

 that the land way west appalations, 

belonged to the Native nations. 

Then the colonists were like NO!

 So they decided to not listen bro. 

King George needed them to pay him back for the war,

 but they didn't listen anymore,

 so  King George taxed them on sugar and paper and more,

 which led to the Boston Massacre!

 The colonists still didn't listen for a fact, 

then became the tea act! 

King George now has taxes on tea, 

and the colonists still aren't free!

 Now the colonists are seeking revenge because everything's harder,

 they throw the tea into the Boston Harbor.

 To confess, here’s the First Continental Congress

! Before the second Continental Congress, the Battle at Lexington and Concord was here to arrest. 

Uggg, now the battle of Bunker Hill, the colonists lost because they had no bullets to refill. What will happen now? 

I mean, how?
