Civil War :: 5th Grade connection | No more Auction Block, John Legend

As 5th Grade starts the social studies unit on the civil war, slavery, and the rich African-American musical history that began becomes important in the development of American music.



"No More Auction Block For Me," by Gustavus D. Pike, 1873

No more auction block for me
No more, no more
No more auction block for me
Many thousand gone
No more peck of corn for me…
No more driver’s lash for me…
No more pint of salt for me…
No more hundred lash for me…
No more mistress’ call for me…
