| | |  1859 - February: Encyclopedia II - Dixie song - Lyrics
The lyrics of "Dixie" reflect the mood of the United States in the late 1850s toward growing abolitionist sentiment. The song presents the point of view, common to minstrelsy at the time, that slavery was overall a positive institution. The pining slave had been used in minstrel tunes since the early 1850s, including Emmett's "I Ain't Got Time to Tarry" and "Johnny Roach". The fact that "Dixie" and its precursors are dance tunes only further makes light of the subject.See also:Dixie song, Dixie song - Structure, Dixie song - Lyrics, Dixie song - Composition and copyright, Dixie song - African American origin?, Dixie song - Popularity through the Civil War, Dixie song - Dixie reconstructed, Dixie song - Dixie opposed, Dixie song - Notes Read more here: » Dixie song: Encyclopedia II - Dixie song - Lyrics |

For most of the Weimar Republic, though, Bavaria was dominated by the relat ...
