abolitionists of the civil war lyrics
abraham lincoln was born in 18 zero 9
he was an abolitionist, he was one to define
that slavery was wrong and venal
and it should be illegal
he had the dedication
so came the emanc+p+tion proclamation

from humble beginnings
cutting through tree rings
his mother spread her wings
pulling on his strings
understandably stings

was wanting a better life
but his illiteracy was rife
was self+taught to read
it would help him succeed
to achieve this good deed

in 1860 he ran for presidential office
he became the 16th president and was the one who brought us
the emanc+p+tion proclamation
reached his destination
to, free the population
every slave in the whole nation

okay next was frederick bailey
he was born in 1818
grew up in the midst of slavery
he thought it was unsavory

he lived on a plantation
with no formal education
understood his situation
he despised incarceration

so he fled to new bedford
manual work his occupation
he changed his surname to douglass
hunters can’t find his location

stayed there for around 3 years
untraceable he does appear
he removed all of his strife
so he’s out there enjoying life

he got a formal invitation
to spread his information
at an anti+slavery convention
got all their attention
the north star douglass created
was where slavery was slated
he argued and debated
made the practice look outdated

he wrote his biography in 1845
he strived to deprive
the pro+slavery hive

of their thoughts against equality
what utter frivolity
he was so exultant
his impact was so resultant

as you see, all it takes
is one person to hit the brakes
on global issues like slavery
you just need some bravery
