American Histoy Many, many years ago, our forefathers came to this great land, looking for a better life. What they found was, as it became known, “the promised land.” Here in this new land, they found relief from religious persecution, and hoped to start a new life here. But, soon all that changed, and a tyrant ruled the land. He was known as “Crazy King George,” to his subjects. The people of this new land hated him, because he tried to control everything they did, and they no longer felt free. Soon everyone came together, and wrote a document declaring their freedom as a new nation. War broke out when “Crazy King George” heard of this declaration. Many fathers left son’s and daughters, husbands left wives, and even young men, some as young as 14 joined the fight against England. England mocked their cause, calling them angry farmers with pitchforks. No one expected this new nation to emerge victorious, but victorious we stood, united as a new nation. And they called this new land, the United States of America. Every year since our victory, we celebrate the day we declared ourselves war, new, land, civil, states, nation, america, years, united, cost, confederate, came, young, year, victorious, together, southern, soon, since, secession, one, never, men, lives, life, left, known, king, joined, george, free, found, fight, died, day, crazy, called, wrote, won, wives, wars, victory, union, tyrant, troops, tried, totaled, total, took, thus
