The petitions began in the late 18th century 
A few former slaves were successful 
In their efforts 
To claim compensation 
For work done 
While in bondage
In the state of Massachusetts
However
Many estates 
Failed to make payments 
And the rulings were rarely enforced
Emancipation without compensation
Solomon Northrup 
Proposed the idea 
Of reparations 
To congress 
In the mid 19th century 
And in 1867 
Congressman Thaddeus Stevens 
And Senator Charles Sumner 
Attempted to redistribute land 
To freed people 
HR 29 
Died in the House 
HR 29 
Died in the House 
Emancipation without compensation
