Constitution DayJP08

All right men, the Red Coats are coming. Let's fight for our freeedom! Some of you don't think that it is necessary to fight. But I do. The British have gone way too far. They have been bossing us around for way too long. The King has raised taxes way too high on practicaly everything, especially tea. That is exactly why we had the Boston Tea Party. We had to do that for our freedom. It was worth losing all of that tea. Another reason is the stamp act. We needed to buy a stamp for every newspaper, pamplet, and every other public or legal document. We used to be able to get those things for free. Another reason is the Boston Masacre. The British soldiers killed three and wounded eight because one of them was hit by a snowball. Another reason is the sugar act. We had to pay high taxes on simple things such as sugar, wine, and coffee. We need to win this war for freedom and rights for present and future people of this land. Even if you die, you are a hero, because this is worth dieing for. We need to become an independant nation. I see them coming. Let's fight for our freedom.
