I just randomly had a craving for this song *shrugs*. It is probably the creepiest of the whole musical, but you know what, it was SO well performed! Yay... I am a total nerd, so sue me.

This is a great song, and so heavy on imagery you can quite clearly see what Rutledge is describing, from the slaves crammed in the ships, to the auction block. I like the part when he starts singing about the West Indies, and the tribal-sounding drums start to play.

I was just cast as Rutledge in my High School's production. This is going to be fun.

@JokersGirl0711 Cullum. My apologies.

@fadinginthedark That's John Callum. He's mainly known for TV series "Northern Exposure."

That man has a beautiful voice. This is the easily the most fabulous (and disturbing) song in 1776. It's amazing, but I can't help but notice that whenever people talk about slavery they point fingers at the colonists(which we should because they promoted slavery for years) but no one acknowledges the fact that owning a person indefinitely only became legal in America after Anthony Johnson(a black man) went to court and won his case so that he could own his indentured servants for life.

Excellent voice of John Cullum. He's in "The Conspirator".

This song doesn't complete the picture of Northern hypocrisy. Massachusetts was the first colony to legalize slavery, plied the slave trade until at least 1846, practiced white slavery, and didn't become a free state until 1865. Like Rutledge says "Hail Boston, Hail Charleston. Who stinketh the more?"

I love this man's voice.....
I think they finally brought out a soundtrack for the film version. My dad and I have two different versions, that's the only explanation I can think of. I could be wrong though.
