APUSH song

As long as we strive through Through the wilderness of the United States we achieve We want to expand to the West We the people say were crazy and that were blind Risking our lives in a glance And how we expanded is still a mystery We wanted to start with Texas Dont care what is written in our history As long as we strive to be Great Britain, argued with, The United States, over the Border of Maine and Canada So they made (a treaty called) Webster-Ashburton (so it would) Separate Canada from Michigan/Minnesota President Tyler propose a treaty to annex Texas But he needed to get two-thirds votes, so he failed So they decided to make a joint resolution And all they need is the majority President, Polk wanted California, Territory Hes willing to pay 25 million But Mexico, REJECTED him So he sent troops down To start a war with the Mexicans As long as we strive through They attack and kill eleven of our men Then it made congress mad, so it made us want revenge Congress declared war on Mex-I-Co (I dont care) As long as we strive through yeah yeah We took over, Mexico, So they decided to sell us their territory For 15 mil, we bought it yeah With 3 million, we took their depts away ________________________________________________ President Polk want Oregan territory from Britain He told we wanted 54 40 or we will fight yeah Britain said no and we want to fight, with them so then We made a compromise with them saying we will take 49 40 We want to get some more land, we want more We want to get some more land, for Texas President Pierce want the pan handle on top of Texas We want to make some rail-roads o-ver it We paid 10 million to Mex-I-Co oh yeah This made the southerners very happy about the purchase oh yeah We want to get some more land, we want more We want to get some more land, we want more!
