The Shot Heard Round' The World

Shot Heard Around The World

• On April 18,1775
• The first shot
• By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set to-day a votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone. Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee.-Ralph Waldo Emerson "Concord Hymm"
• Nobody knows who named it and who shot the bullet
• Maybe Princip
• In Lexington and Concord

Princip shot Archduke's wife and said the second shot heard around the world wouldn't have quite a ring to it.

-Loyalist Side-
Every time we hear a complaint about taxes we raise them.

-Patriot Side-
We keep complaining because they put in taxes at first but they raised them anyway.

-Neutralist Side-
I'm not on any side but I still get taxes. But I don't care what happens to me as long as I don't fight anybody for what they believe in.
