Luyện nghe bài hát Slavery Battle

The issue on the table: a petition from a Quaker delegation in Philadelphia calling on Congress to end the African slave trade and abolish slavery, in all its forms. This petition was written and signed by Benjamin Franklin, it cannot go ignored. If comes to a vote in Congress, what is the White House's position? Secretary Jefferson, you first. Tread lightly...

Sir
The constitution clearly
That the have to wait
Until eighteen-oh-eight to
On whether to end the trade
And whether or not you want it,
That is the final we made

Sir

But for a second let us say that we can
Unanimous emancipation, reigns, and yes, it's great
We cure prejudice or righteous, desperate hate
So to Africa or do they get a separate state?
In 1784, I tried to float slavery in the West
My notion didn't get a vote
Slavery's a sin, it's like a cancer
But we can't address the question if we do not an answer

Is it my turn?
Plantation states are packed with promise
Do you realize the precious these legislators wasted?
Institutionalizing slavery multiplies our troubles
Wait the 1800's, and their population doubles
You all
is the stain on our soul and democracy
A land of the free? No, it's not, hypocrisy
To subjugate, dehumanize a race, 'em property
And say that we are powerless to it, can you not foresee?
Sir, even you, you have of slaves
Whose descendants will curse our names when safe in our graves
How will the find labor for its businesses?
How will Thomas Jefferson find his mistresses?

How you

Yet still, follow like lemmings
All your hemming and hawing, while you're hee-hawing with Hemings

enough

Well you asked how I
I don't pretend to know the answer, but the question is

If I may, Mr.

Let's take this moment to establish a
First of all, sir, we involve you in this
Imagine this debate with all of congress, ruinous
reassure the South, 1808 is still the year
That was agreed
That buys us and assuages fear
I'll the North that on January 1st
Of year, we'll ban importation handling the worst
Once I get all agreed upon, I'll pick up a pen
And a notion never to discuss this again

Mr President!

Hamilton, if we emancipation
Every single slave owner will compensation
And as for Jefferson with talk of mistresses
Do you really

Do you really have that conversation?

No

Madison, execute your to the letter
Let's hope the next generation of something better
