One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put
tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their parcels
through the post without stamps. During the War, Red Coats and Paul
Revere was throwing balls over stone walls. The dogs were barking
and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the colonists won the War and
no longer had to pay for taxis. Delegates from the original thirteen
states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin,
and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence.
Franklin had gone to Boston carrying all his clothes in his pocket
and a loaf of bread under each arm. He invented electricity by rubbing
cats backwards and declared "a horse divided against itself cannot
stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
