    Lots of material here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Madison

    (Always check out the Discussion tab on a Wikipedia page. It's often as interesting as the main article.)

    Re: James Madison

    Hmmm...

    Thinking about this a bit more, James Madison as a subject for second graders sounds OK, but the Battle of Baltimore? That's a bit more advanced unless focusing specifically on the birth of our National Anthem?

    Weird...

    Yeah...since we sing it everyday in class, I think it would be good to teach them how it came about and why we sing it.

    When I was a kid, it was usually America the Beautiful, a much easier tune for the untrained.

    Re: James Madison

    in Texas, they say the national anthem (under God included) every morning.

    I remember that and the national anthem over the intercom every morning growing up. That and prayer (and later the "moment of silence") was a great way to start the day, and I am glad my kids have that same - if not a bastardized version - routine.

    You mean the Pledge of Allegiance? They definitely don't sing every morning at any of the schools that I've been to in Texas...

    Doh!!!!

    yes, I mean the pledge...

    I think at one point I even wrote that and then changed thoughts to the national anthem and then got the two mixed.....

    They do it here too, also with the McCarthy-era addition. Ruined a perfectly good pledge with someone's religion. *grumble grumble*

    I hadn't realized that "under god" got added so recently. A good example of how well democracy protects the desire of the majority.
