	Burnt Cork and Tambourines
		Bryant occupied high rank and was greatly respected by all with whom he came in contact.
		Bryant suffered greatly from lack of sleep and his physicians found it impossible to induce a state of somnolence, even subcutaneous injections of morphine failing to produce the desired effect.
		While in Cincinnti with his minstrel troupe, he was served with so many warrants of arrests for many of his former acts of villainy that he could scarcely find time to return from any court before he was served to appear at another.

		One of the most successful early performers of the minstrel show was Thomas D. Rice, who became very popular for the song "Jump Jim Crow," which he learned to dance from an old Negro while on tour in 1828.
		Rice also helped to develop the minstrel show by increasing the use of fl dialect plantation songs, banjo and fiddle music, virtuoso dancing, and crude humor, and he helped to establish a better sense of organization.
		Clayton Henderson credits the Virginia Minstrels for setting down the foundation for other groups to follow by presenting a new style for the other troupes to adapt to their shows.

		I Wish I Was in Dixies Land was Written and Composed expressly for Bryants Minstrels by Dan D. Emmett, we are told on the cover of the first edition, published in 1860 by Firth, Pond & Co. in New York.
		Asked to write a new lively piece early in 1859, he sat down one day in his room and wrote a simple, strophic song for the ensemble, with an instrumental interlude between stanzas to allow the company to do their version of a Negro dance.
		Considered as an intolerable nuisance when first the streets re-echoed with it from the repertoire of wandering minstrels, it now bids fair to become the musical symbol of a new nationality, and we shall be fortunate if it does not impose its very name on our country.

	Antebellum and Civil War America, 1784-1865
		People who are unfamiliar with popular entertainment of the 19th century probably would not know what flface minstrelsy is. Blackface minstrelsy, which derived its name from the white performers who flened their faces with burnt cork, was a popular form of entertainment of the 19th century.
		New York City was the birthplace of the minstrel shows and also the place where these shows enjoyed the greatest popularity until the Civil War ended.
		In this new style the quartet would gather around in a semicircle with the man playing the tambourine sitting across from the man playing the bones, while another person in the group served as both a musician and also as a dancer.

	Dixie
		During the late 1830's, he was a member of a circus in Cincinnati and wrote his first Negro minstrelsy song - Bill Crowder.
		Emmett joined Bryant's Minstrels in New York in 1858.
		On April 4, the song "Dixie's Land" appeared on the stage of the Bryants.

		Secondly, putting down fls as happy dancing subservient people was designed to alleve the fears of the lower classes in the north that if slaves were freed, they would come and take their jobs.
		It is also well established that he wrote it in New York City in 1859, and it was first performed there by Bryant's Minstrels, for whom Emmett was a writer and performer.
		So here is a song written by a Northern minstrel who also wrote for the US army, used as political p[ropaganda in the north, beloved by the US president and sung by his armies well into the war, that became an even greater sensation on the south.

		Whitman's last line refers to Italian opera, his favorite of all music, heard not only in opera houses, but also parodied in minstrel shows, ground out on street organs, and played and sung in parlors as popular songs with English text.
		Viewing the nineteenth century from this historical vantage point, the project looks back over forty years to consider the forces that helped shape musical life during the 1860s and 70s, and looks ahead to discover incipient trends unleashed by the Civil War.
		The reference to "Italia's peerless compositions" could refer to opera, to which Whitman was devoted, to airs from opera turned into popular songs, or to parodies of opera included in flface minstrel shows.

		By this time the poemassumed to be by William Cullen Bryant, editor of the Evening Posthad been read at a war rally on Boston Commons and reprinted in other parts of the North.
		The tune may have been known in oral tradition before the Civil War: many of its melodic turns, and its use of a gapped or incomplete scale (the fourth note is absent, and the seventh is barely touched on), are characteristic of much Scotch-Irish traditional music.
		This text was probably too extreme to be widely circulated in a printed version, even in the postwar South, and its chief popularity was as a song passed on by ear through several generations.
