The many men that have died are dragged across the field by the others. Then they leave the battlefield in silence. This started the American Revolution. This battle would never have happened the way it did if it was not for Paul Revere. This helped the Minute Men to get ready to fight even though they could get ready in a minute.
Today is Maryland day.
This celebration began in Maryland in 1903. In the early years schools began by singing about Maryland and America. Often students would read poems or essays they did in honor of Maryland Day. They filled the schools in colors of gold or black. Maryland Day is so popular that Maryland General Assembyl made it an offical holoday in 1916.
