The Evaporators - United Empire Loyalists
The kids love this song. I've had students come back after school to listen to this song again! It may be short and fairly simplistic, however at its core it poses an interesting question to your students. Shouldn't the American Revolution be considered a civil war?
UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS
The Evaporators
From the album’United Empire Loyalists’ – Nardwuar Records
One day,
While cruisin’ through the history books,
I came upon a civil war!
The year,
Was 1776,
And Americans
Were chucking bricks
At each other!
UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS!
So,
When you hear the year,
1776,
Think civil war,
Not revolution,
But tragedy!
And the battle cry moans
UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS!
Civil war and not revolution!
Civil war and not revolution!
Civil war and not revolution!
UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS!
