independence from Britain

REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT

CONTINENTAL ARMY

MMMM…CON-TIN-EN-TAL Breakfast…I mean ARMY. This

Minutemen.

I GEORGE WASHINGTON

COMMANDED THE CONTINENTAL ARMY

EDITH! Did you know that the Battle of BUNKER Hill was one of the early

battles of the Revolutionary War, and while the Patriots (Colonists) LOST,

they proved they could hang with the Meatheads, I mean the British.

DorCHESTER Heights is the place where the

Rebels/Patriots were now in control and getting closer to winning the

Revolution…Its not easy being Britain!

Well, I’ll use it. But I’m not paying for it Betsy Ross!

Mr. Washington…I got the white stars you wanted, but I couldn’t

find any red hearts, yellow moons, or green clovers
