Nullification Crises of 1832
Webster:
One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
This never-ending road to unity;
These men who seem to know my speech
Will surely come and vote for me.
One day more!
Clay
I did not live until today.
How can I live when we are divided?
Webster
One day more.
Henry Clay and symbolic South:
Tomorrow will be voting day
And yet with you, my world has started!
Symbolic North
One more day all on my own.
Clay and symbolic South
Will we ever solve this?
Symbolic North
One more day about the tariff.
Clay and symbolic South
I want to end this fight
North
Strong economy I might have known.
Clay and symbolic South
And I know I will be true!
symbolic South
But the tariff is too high
Calhoun
One more day before the vote!
Clay
Do I follow where he goes?
Calhoun
And to nullify for freedom
Clay
Shall I join my brothers there?
Calhoun
When our ranks begin to form
Clay
Do I fight or compromise?
Calhoun
Will you take your place with me?
ALL
The time is now, the day is here!
Webster
One day more!
Jackson
One more day to nullification,
We will nip it in the bud!
I will join these nullifiers
They will wet themselves with blood!
Webster
One day more!
Various Congressmen
Watch 'em run amuck,
Catch their seats as they lose,
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all,
Let's ignore a law
That will be their doom
Calhoun is a goner
So he won't miss much!
Students (2 Groups)

My place is here, I compromise!

We'll be ready for these nullifiers

Here's a little dip!
There's a little touch!

how can I live when we are divided?

What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
ONE DAY MORE!
