Henry Clay was the Great Compromiser.  This song is a description of his accomplishments rapped out to the beat of Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice.

Mint Juleps (Henry Clay Rap)

This is a scratch track we made for an upcoming parody music video based on Jake Paul's Everyday Bro. We will make a better recording to go along with the video but I wanted to share this with everyone for now.

Independence Day Bro Scratch Track

Henry Clay rapping about the Compromise of 1850

1850 
it’s a national obsession
What is Congress gonna do
With the Mexican Cession?

Let’s admit California
As a single free state
Southern congressmen unhappy
Some are really irate

Stronger Fugitive Slave Act
To secure some Southern votes
Such a controversial measure
People at each others’ throats

Squatter Sovereignty out west
Let the settlers decide
In New Mexico and Utah
Congress need not take a side

Gonna bail out the Texans
Pay off debt from their war
Just as long as they’re not claiming
Santa Fe, anymore

Finally, outlaw the slave trade
in Washington, DC
But we’re gonna stop short of a
ban on slavery

Compromise of 1850 Rap

This parody song about Henry Clay's American System is set to the tune of Adam Sandler's Lunchlady Land. I hope that AP US History students and teachers will find it helpful!


Woke up in the morning
After a night at the saloon
Went to the House of Representatives
With my pal John C. Calhoun
This embargo isn’t
Helping us protect ourselves
Looks like Madison finally listened
And now we’re in the
War of 1812
Turns out we weren’t as prepared for war
As I thought we might have been
The British burned down the White House
Much to our chagrin
Sure, it ended well at New Orleans
Yeah, that was quite a win
But for our economic future
We need to... focus within
Well yesterday’s economy
Was based on foreign trade
If we can achieve
Economic independence
We’ll have it made
Internal Improvements, Internal Improvements
National Bank, National Bank, National Bank
Internal Improvements, Internal Improvements
National Bank, National Bank
Protective Tariff 
build some
Western roads, west, western roads, yeah
Western roads, west, western roads
Build some
Western roads, west, western roads, yeah
Western roads, west, west...
Well I dreamt one morning
That I woke up to see
The United States had built a
National economy
Jimmy signed into law the Second
National Bank
Supporting economic growth
And y’all got Henry Clay to thank
Then internal improvements
Bridges, roads, and canals
To connect all the sections
Gonna make us all pals
A protective tariff
To build home industry
Our economy won’t have to
count on British sympathy
Why cross the Atlantic
Travel out of our zone
When we can build factories
make stuff right here at home
I know the South’s not eager
No, they’re not on my side, ‘Cause
they grow cotton for the world
And they ship it far and wide
In 1828, they said
that tariff’s too high
And John C. turned on me
Carolina nullified
But I said to Calhoun
You’ve got nothing to fear
Ship your cotton up North
And we’ll process it here
The American System
Is pursuing a goal
To build an economy
Free from foreign control
Let’s build some
Western roads, west, western roads
Western roads, west, western roads
Build some
Western roads, west, western roads
Western roads, west, western roads
