VER SE I The North had cities, railroads, and factories but most importantly slaves were free...Woopee! The North was industrial, no need for slaves workers there, they got their pay! The North wanted to stay untied so they told the South, "You need to change your way of life no matter what the strife!"
 * "North Verses South"**

VERSE II The South had plenty of plantations. And because the South was agricultural, they had a craving for owning slaves. They made those slaves work on their farms so the North organized a plan to help the them escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad if they can. The South got very angry; they succeeding in seceding but by then the slaves were fleeing. VERSE III The North wanted to stay united so they decided they would attack if for no other reason, to bring the South back. Then the South got angry and they gathered up their weapons; they shot and attacked the North and took over their stations but once the war began no one knew who to blame. VERSE IV For four long years, the North and the South, fought like cats and dogs or bulls and hogs The war was cold and bloody and the days were harsh and mucky. When the war had ended the North was victorious; That was a glorious day for slaves, the South would no longer own their souls! VERSE V The North and South still had their differences, But in ways they were the same. Although they fought fiercely they were able to come to a conclusion: Slaves would be free at last; goodbye to the past!
