Abraham Lincoln went on a flat boat down the Mississippi. The boat was laden with supplies to sell at New Orleans. While in New Orleans Lincoln visited a slave auction. After having seen this auction, Lincoln was very much more opposed to slavery.
The next act will be Abraham Lincoln at the Slave auction. (Auctioneer and slaves. Sells several slaves. Class bid and carry on auction, etc.)
(At end of auction, auctioneer says:)
Auctioneer: Rest of these slaves to be sold tomorrow. Gentlemen be sure to come.
(Lincoln and Hanks talk.)
Hanks: Well, well. Abe Lincoln what do you think of that?
Lincoln: I think it is terrible. If I ever get a chance to hit that thing, I'll hit it and I'll hit it hard.
Hanks: I don't blame you.
End of Act II.
