You say you want a revolution....

Our phenomenal students are currently studying the American Revolution. 

3 taxes were placed,

they made you pay,

for sugar and tea

every single day.

You paid taxes on paper,

you paid taxes on food,

but the taxes on tea

darkened the colonists' mood.

"Let's sabotage their tea taxes!"

the colonists said.

Then everything changed,

when the British went to bed.

They dumped crates of tea

all through the night.

But the British found out

and they put up a fight.

That's how it went,

the Boston Tea Party.

And to only think

this stared because of tea.

The smoke from his rifle fills the air
and the colonists cry loudly in despair.
For a man threw a block of wood,
causing the Redcoats to shoot,
not clearly understood.

The guns hit five people to death
including Crispus Attucks, a famous escaped slave.
And the deaths provoked a panic wave,
but the colonisits tried to protect their customshouse.
It all is a dreaful end
for this was called the Boston Massacre.
