[Verse 1: Stephen Douglas}

Stephen Douglas
And Im up in Kansas
I support the manifest
And I ran for Congress
I support the masses
so the act is
gonna be solved by popular sovereignty
when it passes
I have faith they will vote against slavery
but my party is divided
oh woe is me
This ruins my chances for presidency
Its not slave power
They dont understand me
[Verse 2: Know Nothing]
Yo its the Know Nothings
and you know we reppin
Got too many catholics and
Immigrants so you know we preppin
We will only vote for native-born Protestants
concerning our party we dont talk about it
Were not a political party
but now were getting serious
we want immigration checks
And probationary periods
got over a million members
and support in the south
We also rule the north
so you better watch out

[Verse 3: Whig Party]

We are the once esteemed Whig party
We opposed president Andy and got Clay from Kentucky
Now were in a pickle
as weve lost our power
we failed to appease our voters
so this is our final hour
[Verse 4: Republican Party]
Hey, we are the Republicans
and were trying to fill the spot of the Whigs
Were different parties
but are members are shared
and we cooperate to make the Democrats scared
In this party are all types of gents
we got abolitionists, ex-whigs, and ex-democracts and even ex- Know Nothings
like Nathaniel Banks
Since were so varied
What we stand for is too
but we all oppose slave power and think slavery is morally wrong, dont you?
[Verse 5: Robert Walker]
My Name Robert Walker and Im governor
I see Anti-slavers are the norm here
Buchanan promised to keep the vote fair
Wait the vote was rigged wheres Buchanan oh where?
[Hook: James Buchanan]
They picked me to be their president
they said that it would lessen tension
So I was a safe choice
(I had a lot of experience)
I split the democratic party and was against slave rights

I gave the north frights and caused more fights

I just lead to more tension
(I just made the Republicans mad)
[Verse 6: John Brown]
Im John Brown a rabid abolitionist
I was violent in Kansas and thus I became infamous
I killed 5 pro-slavers at a hard to pronounce creek
I led to conflict and my beard was on fleek
I'm also responsible for the raid at Harpers ferry
I captured the arsenal and was captured by Robert Lee
I refused to plead insanity and was executed cuz I was guilty.
Slavery Sucks!
(Republican)
Dont worry youre a hero
[Verse 7: Senator Preston Brooks]
I'm up in the senate
They call me Preston Brooks
I beat on abolitionists
Cause theyre all crooks
they spend all their time trying to defame
theyre breaking this country
like Im breaking my cane
they might call me crazy
but Im a hero theyre insane
[Verse 8: Irish Immigrant]
Im just a common immigrant
I came here to escape the deadly potato famine

Im from Ireland
Im hated on by the protestants
Just because Im catholic
They associate me with crime it makes me sick
[Verse 9: Dred Scott]
They call me Dred Scot
I fought to be free
Supreme court was kinda stingy They made a decision, said I had no rights. This
gave the north chills and frights, but at least Im freed thanks to the fights.

[Verse 10: Struggling Northerner]

Yo theres a panic in the north
and I wish it would end
Weve been hit by mass unemployment.
Im struggling and calling out to Congress
but blocks by Democrats are causing distress
Were caught up in a mess
[Hook: Abraham Lincoln]
Im Abraham Lincoln
Born in a log cabin
and I ran as a republican
(was a legislator in Illinois)
Im gonna unite this country I swear it
Slave Power well fight it
Dont worry its worth it
(Slavery will be gone)
