The Expansion Discovery Rap
OK I woke up this morning ready for the school day
It's the same thing nothing new
OK I woke up this morning ready for the school day
One day the president Thomas Jefferson had some land
Everything he needed is in both of his hands
But the president wanted to think for you and me
So he pursued the Louie Purchase in 1803
This purchase cost about 15 million bones
And he bought it from a place that hardly ever snows
UGA was a land grant university
And overcame a lot of diversity
This land grant college has so many opportunities
And many people went and got a better education
The Yazoo land front is a way to get more land
This system was a bad idea and got burned later in Louisville
Baptist and Methodist churches were spreading very quickly
Circuit riders are the reason for this theory
The head right system is where white males got land
And this was because of the color of their hand
The head right system died later
The land lotteries took its place
And all white men living in Georgia for one year
Got a chance to enter this game
Lastly the veterans and widows got a chance
To enter the lottery and earn some land
It's the same thing nothing new
