    We weren't asked for longwinded political ideology after all.

    Some of these are doubtful, zip coon, south rise again, list goes on, as either Civil War used, civil war minded?

    I've noticed a lot of confusion! The Star Spangled Banner is not adopted until the 1930's. national anthem Hail Columbia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU1reLFj_CY
    we have already posted the siege of Vicksburg which is the same tune with listen to the mockingbird if I am not mistaken.
    I have mentioned before that not all of these songs were made DURING the acw or about the acw. after all zip coon is under the category of minstrel songs I think. but if we limited it to music about the war or more specifically music made about the war during the war our options would be limited. that's why this is more of a thread about music of that time rather than the war itself
    Also have we posted the south will rise again? that rly shouldn't be here. it is way out of the era.

    The Civil War was fought in 10,000 places...from Valverde, NM, along the Florida Coast to St Albins, VT...From Mt Zion to Mt Ida to Lookout Mountain along the banks of the Tennessee...In New Lisbon, New Carthage, and New Hope. From Mt Olive to Nickajack Gap. From Tullahoma TN to Fredricksburg, VA. Along the Rappadan and the Rappohannock, along the Susquehana and the Manonghihala. In 1864, William T Sherman would march his Union Army From Atlanta GA to Savannah GA waging total war, and would become a hero to the North and a terror to the South. At Chancellorsville VA, where perhaps the greatest military tactician the United States has ever seen, would launch a risky but rewarding surprise attack against the Union, only to have his right hand man taken out by the effects of friendly fire and pneumonia. From a sleepy corner of farmland in in Pennsylvania called Gettysburg that would cost 51,000 lives killed and wounded, to a peaceful stream called Antietam, where a costly Union victory was had. From a word meaning place of peace called Shiloh, and twice along a creek called Bull Run...and finally, to a small crossroads called Appomattox Courthouse...where after four long, brutal, bloody years of fighting that pitted brother against brother, father against son, and would claim 650,000 lives, the United States would be ripped in two, and then brought back together, came to an end. by the wars end, the tiny town of Winchester, Virginia would change hands 72 times. For months outside Petersburg, the Union Army would lay siege, only to gain control after so many lives were lost. Two young and very different men, one a clerk from Rhode Island, another a laborer from Tennessee, would keep journals of their experiences: they seemed to have been everywhere the war was waged, and somehow survive. It was a war that would end up defining the true meaning of freedom in America, and eventually the world. It became a war that turned a nation from killing each other wholesale, here in America, in old American towns with old American names, into the kind of nation that could no longer conceive how that was possible. All who fought in it, or experienced it from the home front, would be affected by it. It would be a war that would go on to define the very soul of America, and changed the face of the nation forever.

    Currently wrapping up the Civil War with my students, and today we are looking at music from the Civil War. My students are tasked with analyzing the music, making inferences on what the song is about, what side they believe the song was written for, and why. The students can also talk about the beat, the mood, and the tone of the music, as well as what they believe the song was used for (dancing, listening music, etc.)
