THE DECADES 1700 TO 1799



  I am the University of Yale
Opens its door.
   I am the beginning of the
 Revolutionary War.

   I am one of the 13
Colonies.
   I am the Sons of Liberty
Ideologies.

   I am the Pilgram's at Plymouth
Rock.
   I am the Boston Tea Party thrown
Off the dock.

   I am the day the Navy was
Created.
   I am Paul Revere the midnight
Ride awaited.

   I am Ben Franklin and
Nathan Hale.
   I am the Declaration of
Independence in detail.

   I am the Bill of Rights and
Betsy Ross.
   I am the bell of freedom
And tobacco crops.

   I am the first proud U.S.
Marine.
   I am a patriot breaking away
From the Queen.

   I am the Bunker Hill
Battle.
   I am Benedict Arnold and  
His psychobabble.

   I am Samuel Adams and
Thomas Payne.
   I am the Boston massacre
Independence gained.

   I am the colonial era and
The Sugar Act.
   I am the Pilgrams and
Natives made a pact.
