YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
The slavery thing crops up again
Chapter 32
And so, the Yanks had great success in appropriating land,
2From whoever happened to own it,
3cEspecially from the Indians,
4Who kept signing treaties and moving out of the way,
5Signing treaties and moving out of the way,
6dAnd signing treaties and moving out of the way.
7But then, just when everything was looking really wonderful,
8With Yank destiny manifesting itself all over the place,
9The old eslavery thing cropped up again,
10And wouldn’t go away.
