Chapter 36
What happened next was that Abraham Lincoln got elected president,
2lAnd the southerners went off and started their own country,
3Called the Confederate States of America,
4In honor of the mbrilliant system the states had tried before they had to make up a constitution instead,
5And they got a whole bunch of states to join,
6nIncluding Virginia,
7oSouth Carolina,
8pGeorgia,
9Alabama,
10Mississippi,
11qTennessee,
12rLouisiana,
13sTexas,
14Unless some of these aren’t right,
15Because all of this happened a pretty long time ago,
16And no one remembers all the details,
17Except for a bunch of southerners who have never stopped abelieving in the Confederacy,
18And never stopped fighting the War Between the States.
