Popular Sovereignty, 3:30
Our AP US History I Class had to do a School House Rock themed project in which we explained one of the causes of the Civil War. This was our group's result. We got a 99!
Based off of the song "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha
Lyrics:
Verse:
Popular sovereignty was a real big problem
Started with Kansas, when the congress decided to ask them
"Slavery or just free?" They put the question forth
And caused very much tension between the South and North.
I'm talking about people in Kansas fighting
Clashing like thunder and lightning
People racing in to decide
Standing like guards on the side
Southerners hiring border guards
Beating up dissent without regard
John Brown went to fight right back (back)
A pro slavery town he did attack (tack)
Chorus:
Just vote, it's OK, James B doesn't care either way
Pro slave or free soil, we just need someone to toil
If he's black or he's white we'll just let the states decide
It'll be fine, it'll be fine
Verse:
So the southern states were in a pickle
They used slavery to make every nickel
The Northern states weren't gonna let that fly
But how else was the South going to get by?
They needed to spread slavery West
Needed votes in the house lest
They wouldn't be the best
In the cotton production contest
Douglas wanted a contract
So he could build a railroad track
In order to build his company
He supported popular sovereignty
Chorus 2x
Bridge
The North and South could not agree
This compromise was not meant to be
The South cried out, 'If we secede
Our slaves won't have to be freed'
The civil war, coming quickly
Caused by popular sovereignty
Caused by popular sovereignty

Michael Badnarik sat down with me after teaching his 8 hr. Constitution class in Malvern, PA on March 15th 08. His class is very inspiring to say the least. We are in an Ideological War. Protect yourself from the constant bombardment from the misinformation army. The best tools anyone can use to defend themselves form our government are in the US Constitution.
Michael talks about the differences between rights and privileges. He explains some of the basics of the constitution that supersede any laws that the federal government may pass on a fraudulent basis. Michael does a radio show 7:00am--9:00am CST Monday thru Friday.
