“And then,” said Papa, “England began to get the idea that the colonists who had moved here were sort of like young adults who leave for college…they weren’t coming back! They wanted to live in this new country and they didn’t want to answer to Mom and Dad England, way over there across the Atlantic Ocean.” On her pad, Christina now drew a square way over on the right side of the paper. She put a crown in it and then put an X through the center of it. She smiled as she saw Grant paying close attention to all that was said and all that she drew. 91
“And then,” said Mimi, picking up the story, “there was all out war! The Revolutionary War. The colonists all up and down the east coast wanted to be free. They felt strongly enough about this to fight for their freedom. Even though it was not easy to fight against what had once been their homeland, they believed that they now had a new home.” Grant grinned. “And it was called America?” “Not yet!” said Mimi. “But after the long, hard, bloody war the English finally had to surrender at Yorktown. And the rest, as they say, is history.” “Yes! There was a Declaration of Independence and George Washington was named president of a whole new country—the United States of America!” said Christina proudly. On her pad, Christina drew a square with a cannon in the center to represent Yorktown. Then she drew a large square and put an American flag in it. 92
