    Description: "Oh! Susanna," written in 1847 and published in 1848, made Stephen Foster an instant success as a composer and launched his musical career. Inspired by blackface minstrel groups he encountered while working for his brother in Cincinnati, Foster wrote "Oh! Susanna" in the minstrel tradition. "Susanna" was published by Peters & Field, a local music store, but a New York publisher pirated the song, publishing it under the name E. P. Christy. The song quickly gained popularity by means of Christy's minstrels in Manhattan as well as a new polka fad sweeping the United States. "Oh! Susanna" is considered the first minstrel song to enter the middle-class market.

Whilst Scottish people are technically British because they live in Britain, many would either reject the label or prefer Scottish. Same with Dixie, we are technically American because we‘re in the US, but Dixie is a separate culture from the rest of the US with its own traditions, food, music, and dialect.
