State's Rights Versus Freedom

~ Ironical-Educational Limerick ~ Slinging southern-fried political pus Easy as pie for smooth-talking Russ He'd turn on that charm From down on the farm Convinced folks states' rights were a must How could slavery really be bad Prosperity every year they had But Abe Lincoln came Spoke in freedom's name King Cotton hated Abe's truth like mad

Nice limericks. And about as close to the truth as one can get! I don't write limericks, but I love them.
