I’m sure you have all heard of George Washington cutting down his father’s cherry tree. Is it really true? Did he really do it? I think he didn’t only because George Washington said he cut it with his little hatchet. You can’t cut down a tree with a hatchet. George Washington was young and might [...]

What would happen if no one in America was willing to fight for our country? All the other countries in the world who hate the USA would attack us. We would be at our weakest point when no one will be willing to fight. It may sound mean for other countries to do that to us but [...]
