The Question of the Day is The history of Yankee Doodle, Wolfs & Guns

The History of the Song Yankee Doodle

The song Yankee Doodle dates back to the Seven Years' War. “It is often sung patriotically in the United States today and is the state anthem of Connecticut. Yankee Doodle Wiki” The first verse & chorus to Yankee doodle are “Yankee Doodle went to town A-Riding on a pony he stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni. Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle dandy mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy."

The History of Wolves

The wild wolf range used to be almost everywhere in the USA but now they only live in like 12 states. Some of those states are Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. “Over the past 30 years, the wild wolf population in the US had grown from less than 300 to over 4,000. Even two decades ago, it looked like wolves would probably disappear forever from the plains and forests of this country. www.missionwolf.org”

The history of guns

The first thing called a gun was a bamboo that used gunpowder to fire a spear, it was made in china around 1000 AD. Later they made guns with triggers, but they took a long time to reload. The first rapid fire gun was the Gatling Gun, invented by Richard Gatling during the American Civil War in the 1860s. I think that is cool.
