And many people are missing the fact that the Emancipation Proclamation was unconstitutional. At the time, slaves were property (more proof that the law has nothing to do with morality). Anytime the government takes property, it must pay fair market value (Fifth Amendment). There was no compensation made by the proclamation. Maybe we are talking the wrong side getting reparations.

Are there new lyrics? I will always here it as those caissons rolling along no matter what is being sung.
