Aftermath
It was the selfish men who tore the country apart,
For they had no love for Lincoln nor people at heart.
A line called Mason Dixon was keeping both sides apart,
And in 1861, the Civil War battles began to start.
In 1865, a peace mandate was finally brought in,
But Black's down in the South had not forgotten.
It was the end of slavery and elite slave trade plottin',
When former slaves told their masters, "Go pick your own damn cotton".
