A+Barton+1846

[]


 * __Hello, 1846__**

Hello to a year of war, a year of thought We struggled but new states were bought California, Texas, Iowa Proud states that were large but cost us So many men, so many youths Was it worth all the bloodshed?

Hello to a year of many inventions In the healthcare and science fields Did you lose a leg in the Mexican War? We now have prosthetic legs, with ether too That way you won’t feel so much pain

Hello to a year when you’re passing to the West, You may meet Mormons traveling In rugged wagons, seeking peace Their clothes are torn so they might need A sewing machine, which just came out

If you need to relax from your Taxing journey, you’re in luck Charles Dickens is publishing And the saxophone has been patented So relax and enjoy, and say Goodbye to 1846.
