Government Time Line (rap)

Seven Years War (War)

Britain gets a global struggle on their hands

On our American Turf, In 1754 to 63 yo,

Fight For Land, Sticks, and to beat Indian clans

1765, Britain’s the butch, and we’re the bitch

They give us taxes, enough to make us itch

So in our 13 colonies, were required for pay for good taxes,

To pay off your dept from your seven years war.

In October of 1765

Stamp act congress did reside

They met out of anger of the new taxation

They met and they planned, to get representation

No one knows who started Boston Massacre

The British fired into an empty crowd

Five people died in 1770

I guess this don’t make Britain proud

Adams and others threw your crap overboard

Guess what Britain, we aint drinkin your tea

1773 Hun, we showed you who’s who

Your tea taste good, in this ocean sea.

In the month of march in 1774

The British parliament wanted to settle the score

They put these acts in to take control

But…it just pissed America off

There was a meeting, to protest policies

Delegates showed up from most of the colonies

It was some time in ‘74

They met to see if they should fight for the shore

In April 1775

There was a battle where many men died

The British came, looking for guns,

But in concord, the minutemen won

Second Continental congress, ya we got delegates

Some from each state, to sort things out

We’ll meet up in Virginia, Just cause its fly

Made some decisions so no one dies
