whoop. The dancing stops. Women scream and men rush toward
Clark).

CLARK: Go on with your dance but remember you dance under Virginia
and not under Great Britain.

(British General goes up to Clark).

CLARK: I ask you to surrender in the name of Virginia.

BRITISH GENERAL: I surrender. (Hands his sword to Clark).

(French talk in corner. Father Gibault and other men come up to
talk with Clark).

FATHER GIBAULT: We beg of you, Colonel Clark, to spare our lives and
the lives of our families.

CLARK: Father, your lives are safe. America makes war on no church
and will protect you all from insult. The King of France has made a
treaty with the United States and is sending ships and soldiers to
help us. All we want you to do is put up the American Flag.

FATHER GIBAULT: We are glad to hear this news. It makes us all very
happy indeed. I will go to Vincennes and tell the good news.

ANDREW JACKSON

Andrew Jackson was born in North Carolina in 1767. His parents were
Scotch Irish.

OFFICER: You won't! Won't you! (Draws sword and strikes boy on head).
(Soldiers drag him from room).
