I took an American history exam last week and got stuck on the question, "what senator was Lincoln's opponent in the Kansas-Nebraska debates prior to the 1860 election. Well, randomly i began singing "Stephen A. Douglas was the great debater, Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator!" under my breath, and there it was! Thank you Sufjan, you are a study failsafe.

this is really such an incredible work of art, you can tell how much effort you put into it. especially when you drew the most amazing picture just for abraham lincoln being a "great emancipator" and only showing the image for a second. seriously impressed :)

Our step mom, we did everything to hate her She took us down to the edge of Decatur We saw the lion and the kangaroo take her Down to the river where they caught a wild alligator Sangamon River it overflowed It caused a mudslide on the banks of the operator Civil war skeletons in their graves, They came up clapping in the spirit of the aviator The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain We go riding on the abolition grain train Steven A. Douglas was a great debater But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator Chicken mobile with your rooster tail I had my fill and I know how bad it feels Stay awake and watch for the data No small caterpillar, go congratulate her Denominator, go Decatur, go Decatur (It's the great I am) Abominate her,…
