Sorry mate, but Van Buren was no abolitionist. In fact, the reason why Polk got the nomination was because he clained to be a staunch supported of Van Buren, who succeeded Jackson. Polk owned slaves & had to present himself as a paternalist who had slaves forced upon him instead of the happy to force labourers to slave all day.
don't tell that to they might be giants, they already changed a song to make it politically correct and now it sounds terrible "why does the sun shine?" - "why does the sun really shine?"
:(
You didn't correct Linnel's mistake (bad pronunciation of Oregon)

@EBanonymous They Might Be Giants, the writers and composers of this song, have acknowledged their mistake in the past.
