FREEDOM OF INDEPENDENCE

FREEDOM OF INDEPENDENCE

The year was seventeen seventy five
The War of Independence was alive
An unordered shot round the world was heard
And then Revolutionary War occurred.
~
The first major fight was at Bunker Hill
About four hundred Americans killed
Over half of the British force was lost
They took the hill, but oh at what a cost.
~
America offered an olive branch
At this petition, King George would not glance
Thinking this open rebellion he’d crush,
But for freedom, Rebels onward would rush.
~
The final battle was in eighty two
Bringing Independence to me and you.
By the year of seventeen eighty three,
Revolutionary War had set us free.
