In this task, you will look at three songs that were popular before Reconstruction. These songs took on some special meaning during Reconstruction for the three groups you learned about in the previous task.

In 1971, an American songwriter named Mickey Newbury created a medley of three songs called “American Trilogy.” The medley blends parts of three nineteenth-century songs: “Dixie,” “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and “All My Trials.”

The song “Dixie” was the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy during the Civil War. “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” was a song that the Union Army marched to. “All My Trials” was a lullaby that was closely associated with African American spirituals.

The music and literature of an era often help us understand the experiences of people during that time. You will read the lyrics of all three songs. You can also listen to them and read some background information on each song. Then you will analyze why each song might have become meaningful to the group that adopted it during Reconstruction.

Part A
Read the lyrics of the song “Dixie.”

Dixie

I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie land.

In Dixie land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin’
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie land.

Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hurray! Hurray!
In Dixie land I’ll take my stand.
To live and die in Dixie,
Away, Away, Away down south in Dixie,
Away, Away, Away down south in Dixie,

You can also listen to the song.

Now explain in a few sentences how this song might express the feelings and emotions of white Southerners during Reconstruction.

Answer:

It made them feel upset and because they miss Dixie but it also gives them joy. It give them joy because they remember all the good things about Dixie.

A Growing Nation

After the American Revolution, the newly formed United States realized that it lacked room to grow. The states created in the Declaration of Independence in 1776 were limited in size. As the population increased, more people were competing for the same amount of land. Consequently, land became more expensive, and overcrowding became an issue. The thirteen states were bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the territories of other nations. If the United States was going to have a future, it needed to increase its territory.

President Thomas Jefferson believed that for Americans to be virtuous and free, they needed to farm land. He wanted to expand westward to create more farmland. Jefferson also wanted to obtain the Port of New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River so farmers could easily transport their goods. He facilitated the purchase of New Orleans and the rest of the French territory from France in 1803 for $15 million. This new land was called the Louisiana Territory and stretched partway across the continent. It was the first step in expanding the United States.

The purchase of the Louisiana Territory led to a pattern of westward expansion through payment, negotiations, and conflict. The United States purchased Florida from Spain with the Florida Purchase Treaty of 1821. Instead of paying Spain a set amount, the United States would pay the $5 million Americans claimed were owed to them by Spain. After Texas declared independence from Mexico, it was annexed by the United States and became an official state in 1845. Another land controversy occurred between Great Britain and the United States, as both countries claimed the Oregon region. The dispute was settled in the 1846 Oregon Treaty, which separated the countries by the line of the 49th parallel. Mexico refused to let the United States buy California and New Mexico, so the two countries eventually went to war. Because the Americans won the war, the United States was able to buy lands in the Southwest in 1848. The United States paid Mexico $10 million for an area of land in the Southwest in the 1853 Gadsden Purchase, stretching its borders from sea to sea.
