"En la Brisa" Music by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com
Original Karaoke Track - • Ed Sheeran - Shape Of ...
Now that the Civil War is finally over
4 answers I need to know
How to rebuild the South, ‘cause it is a mess
How to bring ‘em back into the fold
With emancipation,for the 4 million just freed
Will it be fair society?
Will the Congress, the president, or the locals
Be the ones to lead the way?
And now I’m wishing that
We still had dear Abe Lincoln
Johnson’s the President and first to lead
He be granting amnesty
Pardoning those who ask him please
Radical Republicans
Want the South to pay, not making it that easy
Both parties have to agree
The South must pass Amendment 13
Congress pass the Civil Rights Act
Johnson vetoes, it won’t enact
Congress overrides him back
This is Reconstruction
The South is split into 5 zones
That were militarily run
They impeach but can’t convict Johnson
This is Reconstruction
And the Fourteenth Amendment
This is Reconstruction
Giving due process, equal protection
This is Reconstruction
For freed blacks, there’s a sudden impact
They’re freed with nothing, no place to go
So to help ‘em adjust, get educated and such
Congress set up the Freedman’s Bureau
And now the black men can vote
They did and some men of note even won Congressional seats
But soon the Black Codes were passed, to limit their chances
Making an Antebellum repeat
Codes were saying like
Get back to the plantation
It’s jail or work, no choice, it’s like slavery
Sharecroppers rarely did see
Little profit after paying their fee
Fifteenth Amendment was won
Granting suffrage to all men allegedly
Poll taxes stopping many
Grandfather clauses, testing literacy
Northerners came to help or gain
Carpetbaggers became their names
Scalawags were hated the same
This is Reconstruction
Secret groups like the Ku Klux Klan
Formed in hate and in racism
Terrorizing newly freed African Americans
This is Reconstruction
Amnesty Act grants pardons
(This is Reconstruction)
Former Confederates can vote again
This is Reconstruction
This is Reconstruction, come on
This is Reconstruction, come on
U.S. Grant becomes President
Surrounded by ugly corruption
Economy hits a depression
End of Reconstruction
Democrats regain the South
And now the North ain’t caring about
Southern issues, when Hayes is given election
It’s the end of Reconstruction
I have a test tomorrow and I’ve watched this like 20 times 😂
20 more and you'll be good. Don't forget to share with classmates
Always! 😋
Me too
Same
Same
People be talking about how they were assigned this song for tests.
but no one is talking about how this song actually smacks.
I agree. I think I was the only one in my class who went home and learned the lyrics 😂
Really enjoyed this one. Hits my VA curriculum perfectly. Thanks for all you're doing every week
the fact you actully changed every word and made an entire parody is incredible. its also really good. =)
Wow u just made my day and you are making my school year I mean I'm still on Christmas break and I listen to your parodies because they are awesome and you are awesome I don't know what we would do without you!!
The Pandalovergamin Hello friend 😉
Omg, this is what we are studying in my APUSH class right now! Thank you so much for doing these fun videos to help me and my class understand what’s going on History. Sometimes my teacher plays your videos in class for fun and to start of class right! Thank you! Stay awesome!
I love this! You just made my day! Mr.Bett, your so cool!!!!!
Glad I made your day (though it's Betts)
Oops! Sorry Mr.Betts.
Mr betts during the winter break I watched your historical christmas carols and it was very funny 😂
Mr Betts, I love your song. EVERY BODY. YOU HAVE TO WATCH HIS SONG ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION. IT IN THE TUNE OF DESPACITO
No
They played this song in my social studies class 🔥🔥🔥
I know you
Ur videos helped sooooo much in my finals THANK YOU (Morocco)
From Morocco and you're learning about Reconstruction after the American Civil War? Awesome.
Awsome I can't wait to ruin my teachers thunder in class by bringing this up before him
Awesome video, Mr. Betts. Dang, history at that time was really hard. Anyways, awesome job and I love "Shape of You".
i decided to make a song about reconstruction and the American identity for a project (which i regret completely and it is due in 8 hours) and now this just gave me a whole lot of ideas hahaha
What did you end up doing? I have to do the same project
@@bp_gas3099 real easy, just made a rap with some generic country beat with lyrics about ththe American identity
This is my favorite song. You made me appreciate Evan more. I learned a lot!😊
so my teacher showed me your parodies a year ago and the entire class thought you were super lame.... Little do they know I'm subscribed and rock to your music in the car on my way to school after all this time. And you've only gotten better
This was on google classroom...
That’s what I’m doing from google classroom
@@keniacaliz1234 lmfaooooo me too
Braydon wells sameeee
I am blessed by this video... In class I usually try to sleep, draw, or ignore everything my Teacher says... But today when she showed us this... I got a prize for not dozing off or ignoring the Lesson...… c:
We watched this video in class today and i'm making a story board of Reconstruction. Taking some notes from this video. Im watching it over and over and it's so helpful because I kind of understand Reconstruction. Thank you for this video :)
This is amazing!!! I'm definitely playing these videos as students walk in!!
Where do u teach
I’m in love with the shape of gold

My teacher will always put on songs by you! The whole class sings and dances! Our fav song by you is your Let it Go parody! Thank you for teaching us and entertaining us at the same time! 🤓
KawaiIPika Life your class is cringe

Imma need this on Spotify 🤣
I'm a teacher in an urban school... I just LOVE your stuff. You're amazing!
Neat
Our history teacher loves you. He always plays your videos ahahhaa 😂😂😂. Also this stuck in my head now
i was singing this in history class and everyone looked at me weird lol
My history teacher just played this today for my test Thursday and I cannot put it down. Thank you. I hope I pass.
I have a test on this tomorrow, so thanks for this video. Very easy to remember. (You need more subs)
Thank you!!! I know how hard this is. I tried this kind of with a bunch of different songs but for the America Revolution and it was so hard
My teacher shows us these all the time, and we are studying Reconstruction now, I almost guarantee that we will watch this one soon lol.
I´m playing this tomorrow for my 4th grade class. Thank you!
this was made for an AP US history class.
I first listened to this song in 4th grade, I’m in 10th now, this parody is so good that I haven’t stopped coming back to it even after 6 years
My teacher (Mr Rivera) legit loves your videos, he shows them in class all the time. Give him a shoutout i you can, but its fine if you cant
you made my day Mr.Betts i love all your videos especially the one from The Articles Of Confederation Are Flawed its fun💖😂😂
As a kid, I enjoyed reading historical fiction. A book mentioned literacy making it harder for blacks to vote (not all) and I remember thinking that it was fiction part. Had a great history teacher and sat me down taught me more about how unfair it was. My brother, high school history teacher had him interview an adult. We are 7 years apart. The teacher mentioned that I got more questions right about reconstruction, and other parts of history. It was due to the history teacher, when I was little. History can be really dark if you think about it. You remind me of my old history teacher.
Amazing! Thank you from a 5th grade teacher!
Thanks for the video, it´s awesome, i will be using this song to teach Reconstruction tomorrow.
Please, put your music on spotify

Can you make one about spanish explores because that is what my class is learning about
+dreamcake34 vids look up my Columbus video done to Jay-Z's empire state of mind
My teacher said if I can memorize this I get extra points
Reconstruction began to end in 1876, which just so happened to be the centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. However, there was still one state that, while in theory was readmitted, would not be granted amnesty until 1880. That state, of course, was South Carolina. If Tennessee was the last state to secede, and become the first state to be readmitted, then South Carolina, which was the first to secede, was the last state to be granted amnesty.
not my history teacher making me watch this from home
I'm a history major in college. This honestly helps me remember
You are why history is my favorite subject
