“Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”—1
Corinthians
In 1574, King
Phillip of Spain
hated the Dutch because they interpreted the Bible differently than he did. So,
King Phillip fought the Dutch. England
told the Dutch that they would help them, but the Dutch were starving,
especially in Leyden . The people of Leyden
pulled down their dikes, and they still wouldn’t give up. Eight thousand of
them die, and the people of Spain
(who were fighting them) mocked them. Suddenly, a huge storm knocked down the
wall. In the morning, the Spaniards are nowhere to be seen. England
gives the Dutch food and the Dutch thank God.
In Boston ,
the boys were having fun. They were looking forward to skating on the pond the
next day. Unfortunately, the British soldiers broke the ice on the pond. Every
time the pond re-froze, the British soldiers broke the ice. They even knocked
down the boys’ snow fort! The boys eventually went to the English and told them
to stop. The general told the soldiers to stop because he was impressed with
the courage and the freedom of the boys.
A Boston
girl gave up her precious lamb to save the starvation of Boston .
In China ,
the people had to leave their possessions. Their leaders were strong, but not
moral. In fact, they had no religion. The government only taught them political
things, and the government got rid of all of the books that gave the people
contradictory ideas. The people didn’t get to choose their school
In America ,
people were doing acts of service and charity. Families were taught by the
Bible, and they could leave for free. America
had strong and brave leaders, such as George Washington. They turned to
religion. They had freedom to choose their education, and they could get books
easily. They could also choose any political party that they wanted to.
