379 The 3 R's
379.
The 3 R's
The oppressive Spanish rule gained 3 Responses
From illuminated writers to infuriated armed forces…
Revolts became widespread from up to down
By Muslims, by pagans in a province or town
Reform was a movement against discrimination
By enlightened scholars who awakened the nation
Revolution called for freedom from Mother Spain
To end the years of their corruption and gain
…Through these 3 R's, we formed our identity
We've learned we're different, we have our own country!
