Ballad Poem- Slavery

Imported Africans from Africa

Turned them into slaves like they did in Egypt

Brought them to the U.S.

Made them grow and pick cotton

Sold the cotton

South became the richest the richest place to live

The more land that you have the more slaves you own

Large plantation owners were the wealthiest in the south

After a while the South became the largest place for slave trade

South Carolina suceeded from the union because of the issue of slavery

South Carolina leaving was like losing a peice of the family

The North and South were divided

Abraham Lincoln saved the day like superman

Abraham's speech at Getysburg set the slaves free

Lincoln was assasinated at a theatre by an actor that supported slavery
