"Oh! Susanna" is a minstrel song by Stephen Foster (1826-1864), first published in 1848. It is among the most popular American songs ever written. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time
Yes, he died that young. He had been taken to the hospital after suffering from a protracted fever which left him so weak that he collapsed and hit his head on a washbasin causing his death.
It was a shame that it was caused by a accident indirectly caused the fever. It was a loss for all of us, as he published 200 songs by his death. Imagine what he could have done if he had another 37 years.
This tune has been stuck in my head for almost 35 years. I remember my father whistled it when I was just about 5 yrs old. Then about 20 years ago I heard a guy walking down the street whistling it. Memories came flooding back, I knew that tune. I kept it in my head all these years and then just yesterday my kids were watching wreck it Ralph and I heard the tune again, but I absentmindedly forgot about it at the same time. Today my kids watched wreck it Ralph again and I solved my 35 year mystery. Life. 😃
To subjugate a society, you first need to destroy their culture. If you want to destroy the culprit, one of the best ways is to make them ashamed of their culture by calling it "evil, backward, racist, etc". The hostility to American culture is a careful step in a larger strategy.

stanislawzlodzi had the south won, slavery would have ended to the way of economics anyway. The war was ALL about the federal government telling states what to do.
Civl War is my forte in History this play on words is just like me making them! how i love to do that. I think this song may have ben the one that interested me in making words my own! The pictures shown may be the cyclorama from Gettysburg PA but the words speak volumes! Enjoy this wonderful song Stephen Foster I believe the author to be!
2 reasons I listen to confederate songs from the civil war 1. They are actually really good songs and I like them 2. I live in New Orleans and I just like hearing my city as it was the biggest city in the CSA back then.
FoughtStatue I’m from Massachusetts but I want to move to Louisiana to get away from these liberals and this song is an American song because it was made in the 1840s before the civil war but I bet you did use it in the civil war

The South is by far the more romantic of the two sides of the American Civil War. Be that as it may, the Southern States did have a good case for their secession from the Union. Here in Australia, although the British Empire was neutral during the American Civil War, there was much support among the people for the Confederacy as the people here considered the Confederate States were fighting against the tyranny of an over-centralised government that had taken away, or was in the process of taking away, the rights of the Southern States to determine their own future and destiny, govern themselves, and enact their own laws without interference from the American Republic's central government. In other words, the Union was seen as a meddling bully and the Confederacy was seen as a plucky little group of American States that stood up to the bully and fought for their own independence and sovereignty, which they were.
A further precautionary measure was evident in the addition of the word "indissoluble" to the Federal Constitution of 1897-1898 in Adelaide, to prevent the "political heresy" of secession as engaged in by the Confederacy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_and_the_American_Civil_War
I am still a great believer in states' rights in any federation or confederation. Here in Australia, a federation under the Crown, all our States have progressively surrendered many of their rights as sovereign states under the Australian Constitution since the 1970s and the advent of the "New Federalism", which is a great shame.
I was just reading about the time the Confederate warship CSS Shenandoah steamed into Melbourne.. fricken *Melbourne*. Talk about a long way from home. It caused quite a sensation, and the crew was the toast of the town -- to the chagrin of the Union man stationed there at the time ;) But anyhow I get what you're saying. Slavery aside, the notion of the South being the rebellious David up against the Northern Goliath resonates with Aussies a lot.
BEAUTIFUL SONG! Go Southerners! Love you :) Some facts for all about the confederate flag that a lot of people don't know. MYTH - The War of 1861 - 1865 was fought over slavery. FACT - Terribly untrue. The North fought the war over money. Plain and simple. When the South started Secession, Lincoln was asked, "Why not let the South go in peace?" To which he replied, "I can't let them go. Who would pay for the government?" Sensing total financial ruin for the North, Lincoln waged war on the South. The South fought the War to repel Northern aggression and invasion. MYTH - Only Southerners owned slaves. FACT - Entirely untrue. Many Northern civilians owned slaves. Prior to, during and even after the War Of Northern Aggression. Surprisingly, to many history impaired individuals, most Union Generals and staff had slaves to serve them! William T. Sherman had many slaves that served him until well after the war was over and did not free them until late in 1865. U.S. Grant also had several slaves, who were only freed after the 13th amendment in December of 1865. When asked why he didn't free his slaves earlier, Grant stated "Good help is so hard to come by these days." Contrarily, Confederate General Robert E. Lee freed his slaves (which he never purchased - they were inherited) in 1862!!! Lee freed his slaves several years before the war was over, and considerably earlier than his Northern counterparts. And during the fierce early days of the war when the South was obliterating the Yankee armies! Lastly, and most importantly, why did NORTHERN States outlaw slavery only AFTER the war was over? The so-called "Emancipation Proclamation" of Lincoln only gave freedom to slaves in the SOUTH! NOT in the North! This pecksniffery even went so far as to find the state of Delaware rejecting the 13th Amendment in December of 1865 and did not ratify it (13th Amendment / free the slaves) until 1901! MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag was flown on slave ships. FACT - NONE of the flags of the Confederacy or Southern Nation ever flew over a slave ship. Nor did the South own or operate any slaves ships. The English, the Dutch and the Portugese brought slaves to this country, not the Southern Nation. BUT, even more monumental, it is also very important to know and understand that Federal, Yankee, Union ships brought slaves to America! These ships were from the New England states, and their hypocrisy is atrocious. These Federals were ones that ended up crying the loudest about slavery. But without their ships, many of the slaves would have never arrived here. They made countless fortunes on the delivery of slaves as well as the products madefrom raw materials such as cotton and tobacco in the South. This is the problem with Yankee history History is overwhelmingly portrayed incorrectly by most of the Federal & Yankee books and media. MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag represented the Southern Nation. FACT - Not true. While the Southern Battle flag was carried into battle, the Southern Nation had 3 different National flags during the course of the war. The First National flag was changed due to a resemblance of the US flag. The Second National flag was subsequently modified due to the similarity to a flag of truce. The Third National flag was the adopted flag of the Confederacy. The Confederate Battle Flag was never a National Flag of the Confederacy. It was carried into battle by several armies such as the Army Of Northen Virginia and the Army of Tennessee. Was also used as a Naval Jack by the Confederate Navy. MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag is known as the "Stars & Bars". FACT - A common misconception. The First National Confederate Flag is correctly known as the "Stars & Bars". The Confederate Battle Flag is known as the "Southern Cross". MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag represents racism today. FACT - The Confederate Battle Flag today finds itself in the center of much controversy and hoopla going on in several states. The cry to take this flag down is unjustified. It is very important to keep in mind that the Confederate Battle Flag was simply just that. A battle flag. It was never even a National flag, so how could it have flown over a slave nation or represented slavery or racism? This myth is continued by lack of education and ignorance. Those that villify the Confederate Battle Flag are very confused about history and have jumped upon a bandwagon with loose wheels. MYTH - The United States Flag represented freedom. FACT - No chance. The US flag flew over a slave nation for over 85 years! The North tolerated slavery and acknowledged it as a Division Of Labor. The North made a vast fortune on slavery and it's commodities. It wasn't until the South decided to leave the Union that the North objected. The North knew it could not survive without the Southern money. That is the true definition of hypocrisy. MYTH - Abraham Lincoln was the Great Emancipator. FACT - While Lincoln has went down in history as the Great Emancipator, many would not care to hear his real thoughts on people of color. Martyred President Abraham Lincoln was fervently making plans to send all freed slaves to the jungles of Central America once the war was over. Knowing that African society would never allow the slaves to return back to Africa, Lincoln also did not want the slaves in the US. He thought the jungles of Central America would be the best solution and conducive to the freed slaves best interest. The only thing that kept this from happening, was his assassination. MYTH - The South revered slavery. FACT - A very interesting fact on slavery is that at the time the War of 1861 -1865 officially commenced, the Southern States were actually in the process of freeing all slaves in the South. Russia had freed it's servants in 1859, and the South took great note of this. Had military intervention not been forced upon the South, a very different America would have been realized then as well as now. MYTH - The Confederate Army was comprised of rich slave owners. FACT - Very far from true. The vast majority of soldiers in the Confederate Army were simple men of meager income. Most of which were hard working farmers and common men. Then, as now, very few rich men ever fight a war. MYTH - Only the North had men of color in their ranks. FACT - Quite simply a major falsehood of history. Many blacks, both free and of their own will, joined the Confederate Army to fight for their beloved Southern home. Additionally, men of other ethnic extraction fought as well. Oriental, Mexican & Spanish men as well as Native American Indians fought with pride for the South. Today, many men of color are members in the heritage group SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans. These men of color and pride rejoice in their heritage. The continued attacks on the Southern Nation, The Confederacy, and her symbols are a terrible outrage to these fine people. These attacks should be denounced with as much fervor as those who denounce the South. MYTH - The Confederate Flags are an authorized symbol of Aryan, KKK and hate groups. FACT - Quite the contrary. These dispicable organizations such as the KKK and Aryans have taken a hallowed piece of history, and have plagued good Southern folks and the memories of fine Confederate Soldiers that fought under the flag with their perverse agenda. IN NO WAY does the Confederate Flag represent hate or violence. Heritage groups such as the SCV battle daily the damage done to a proud nation by these hate groups. The SCV denounces all hate groups, and pridefully boast HERITAGE - NOT HATE. MYTH - The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are a racist, hate group. FACT - This is a blatant attack on one of the finest heritage groups ever. The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are a historical, patriotic and non-political organization comprised of descendents of Confederate Soldiers and sailors dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861 -1865 period is preserved and presented to the public. The SCV continues to educate the public of the memory and reputation of the Confederate soldier as well as the motives for his suffering and sacrifice. The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are in NO WAY affiliated with, nor does it recognize or condone the terrible legacy of hate groups such as the KKK.
If you're travelling southbound in the Mid-West, does Dixieland start where Indiana meets Kentucky, or where Kentucky meets Tennessee? Bear in mind that Kentucky was a Union State during the civil. There was a confederate government of Kentucky, but it operated in exile, in the southern part of the State, for it was only down there that the majority of people had confederate sympathies and next the official border between the United States of America (USA) and Confederate States of America (CSA), whereas the capital city remained a Unionist state capital.

Yeah, slavery ftw!
For dixie land !!
stanislawzlodzi had the south won, slavery would have ended to the way of economics anyway. The war was ALL about the federal government telling states what to do.
Ok, thanks for enlightening me.
Why?
I really like classic folk tale songs. One of my favorites in this category
We used to sing this song when I was in the first and second grade. Back in 92. Good thing about living in south Mississippi.
Civl War is my forte in History this play on words is just like me making them! how i love to do that. I think this song may have ben the one that interested me in making words my own! The pictures shown may be the cyclorama from Gettysburg PA but the words speak volumes! Enjoy this wonderful song Stephen Foster I believe the author to be!
2 reasons I listen to confederate songs from the civil war
1. They are actually really good songs and I like them
2. I live in New Orleans and I just like hearing my city as it was the biggest city in the CSA back then.
FoughtStatue I’m from Massachusetts but I want to move to Louisiana to get away from these liberals and this song is an American song because it was made in the 1840s before the civil war but I bet you did use it in the civil war
@@ss_takes1093 Most of the north are republican tho
Dom510 not Massachusetts many towns call Columbus Day indigenous people day
I used to live about two blocks from Stephen Foster’s home in Pittsburgh.
I´m from Finland , Skandinavia, when i was young in school we sing this song, pretty song... old war song it is...Very good
Billy Yank from Indiana here!
Much respect to you, Johnny Reb.
Stephen Foster (Songwriter), was from Pennsylvania NOT Texas.
No one said he was from Texas.
As Collin pointed out, nobody said he was from Texas. Just as Daniel Emmett (Dixie) was not from Dixie. He was from Ohio.
I'm from Brazil and when i was a child my gradma used to sing me a portuguese version of this song
Bullshit lol
Reminds me of my grandmama, she loves this song.
southern pride doesn't die it changes shape and gets stronger god bless Texas and all the south's brothers
Greeting from Turkey. As a Circassian , I really feel close to Dixie Heritage. When we were a child , every sunday waited for a western movie on TV desperately. Although we were fan Native Americans , Dixie heritage is wonderful
Dixie ruhu fasistligin, irkciligin, kölelik sisteminin ruhudur.
great song thanks for the upload .
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
My true love for to see
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze to death
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I jump'd aboard the telegraph
And trabbled down de ribber
De lectrick fluid magnified
And kill'd five hundred Nigga
De bulgine bust and de hoss ran off
I really thought I'd die
I shut my eyes to hold my bref
Susanna don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
A-coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake
Was in her mouth
The tear was
In her eye
Says I, I'm coming from the south
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I soon will be in New Orleans
And then I'll look around
And when I find Susanna
I'll fall upon the ground
But if I do not find her
This darkey'l surely die
And when I'm dead and buried
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
Our Amateur vocal club (german: Gesangsverein) were some years ago interpreting a whole Medley with theses wonderfull songs from forster.

Cheers mate! From an Aussie..
jspee1965 Oui Aussie we love Australians here in America.
i am a proud Texan to I love the song.
The South is by far the more romantic of the two sides of the American Civil War. Be that as it may, the Southern States did have a good case for their secession from the Union. Here in Australia, although the British Empire was neutral during the American Civil War, there was much support among the people for the Confederacy as the people here considered the Confederate States were fighting against the tyranny of an over-centralised government that had taken away, or was in the process of taking away, the rights of the Southern States to determine their own future and destiny, govern themselves, and enact their own laws without interference from the American Republic's central government. In other words, the Union was seen as a meddling bully and the Confederacy was seen as a plucky little group of American States that stood up to the bully and fought for their own independence and sovereignty, which they were.
A further precautionary measure was evident in the addition of the word "indissoluble" to the Federal Constitution of 1897-1898 in Adelaide, to prevent the "political heresy" of secession as engaged in by the Confederacy.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_and_the_American_Civil_War
I am still a great believer in states' rights in any federation or confederation. Here in Australia, a federation under the Crown, all our States have progressively surrendered many of their rights as sovereign states under the Australian Constitution since the 1970s and the advent of the "New Federalism", which is a great shame.
Black/Red048 communist stars get automatically discarded.
What?
I was just reading about the time the Confederate warship CSS Shenandoah steamed into Melbourne.. fricken *Melbourne*. Talk about a long way from home. It caused quite a sensation, and the crew was the toast of the town -- to the chagrin of the Union man stationed there at the time ;) But anyhow I get what you're saying. Slavery aside, the notion of the South being the rebellious David up against the Northern Goliath resonates with Aussies a lot.
Much love from Alabama
1860s folk music is the best music in the world
Oh Susanna don't you cry for me
I come from Alabammy with a banjer on my knee

I remember learning this song in kindergarten in a public school in a Chicago suburb. I wonder if they would still teach it today.
Heck, we had a play about the song Dixe in Chicago. It was our theme for 8th grade in a chicago public school also
BEAUTIFUL SONG!
Go Southerners! Love you :)
Some facts for all about the confederate flag that a lot of people don't know.
MYTH - The War of 1861 - 1865 was fought over slavery.
FACT - Terribly untrue. The North fought the war over money. Plain and simple. When the South started Secession, Lincoln was asked, "Why not let the South go in peace?" To which he replied, "I can't let them go. Who would pay for the government?" Sensing total financial ruin for the North, Lincoln waged war on the South. The South fought the War to repel Northern aggression and invasion.
MYTH - Only Southerners owned slaves.
FACT - Entirely untrue. Many Northern civilians owned slaves. Prior to, during and even after the War Of Northern Aggression.
Surprisingly, to many history impaired individuals, most Union Generals and staff had slaves to serve them! William T. Sherman had many slaves that served him until well after the war was over and did not free them until late in 1865.
U.S. Grant also had several slaves, who were only freed after the 13th amendment in December of 1865. When asked why he didn't free his slaves earlier, Grant stated "Good help is so hard to come by these days."
Contrarily, Confederate General Robert E. Lee freed his slaves (which he never purchased - they were inherited) in 1862!!! Lee freed his slaves several years before the war was over, and considerably earlier than his Northern counterparts. And during the fierce early days of the war when the South was obliterating the Yankee armies!
Lastly, and most importantly, why did NORTHERN States outlaw slavery only AFTER the war was over? The so-called "Emancipation Proclamation" of Lincoln only gave freedom to slaves in the SOUTH! NOT in the North! This pecksniffery even went so far as to find the state of Delaware rejecting the 13th Amendment in December of 1865 and did not ratify it (13th Amendment / free the slaves) until 1901!
MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag was flown on slave ships.
FACT - NONE of the flags of the Confederacy or Southern Nation ever flew over a slave ship. Nor did the South own or operate any slaves ships. The English, the Dutch and the Portugese brought slaves to this country, not the Southern Nation.
BUT, even more monumental, it is also very important to know and understand that Federal, Yankee, Union ships brought slaves to America! These ships were from the New England states, and their hypocrisy is atrocious.
These Federals were ones that ended up crying the loudest about slavery. But without their ships, many of the slaves would have never arrived here. They made countless fortunes on the delivery of slaves as well as the products madefrom raw materials such as cotton and tobacco in the South.
This is the problem with Yankee history History is overwhelmingly portrayed incorrectly by most of the Federal & Yankee books and media.
MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag represented the Southern Nation.
FACT - Not true. While the Southern Battle flag was carried into battle, the Southern Nation had 3 different National flags during the course of the war.
The First National flag was changed due to a resemblance of the US flag.
The Second National flag was subsequently modified due to the similarity to a flag of truce.
The Third National flag was the adopted flag of the Confederacy.
The Confederate Battle Flag was never a National Flag of the Confederacy. It was carried into battle by several armies such as the Army Of Northen Virginia and the Army of Tennessee. Was also used as a Naval Jack by the Confederate Navy.
MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag is known as the "Stars & Bars".
FACT - A common misconception. The First National Confederate Flag is correctly known as the "Stars & Bars". The Confederate Battle Flag is known as the "Southern Cross".
MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag represents racism today.
FACT - The Confederate Battle Flag today finds itself in the center of much controversy and hoopla going on in several states. The cry to take this flag down is unjustified. It is very important to keep in mind that the Confederate Battle Flag was simply just that. A battle flag. It was never even a National flag, so how could it have flown over a slave nation or represented slavery or racism? This myth is continued by lack of education and ignorance. Those that villify the Confederate Battle Flag are very confused about history and have jumped upon a bandwagon with loose wheels.
MYTH - The United States Flag represented freedom.
FACT - No chance. The US flag flew over a slave nation for over 85 years! The North tolerated slavery and acknowledged it as a Division Of Labor. The North made a vast fortune on slavery and it's commodities. It wasn't until the South decided to leave the Union that the North objected. The North knew it could not survive without the Southern money. That is the true definition of hypocrisy.
MYTH - Abraham Lincoln was the Great Emancipator.
FACT - While Lincoln has went down in history as the Great Emancipator, many would not care to hear his real thoughts on people of color. Martyred President Abraham Lincoln was fervently making plans to send all freed slaves to the jungles of Central America once the war was over. Knowing that African society would never allow the slaves to return back to Africa, Lincoln also did not want the slaves in the US. He thought the jungles of Central America would be the best solution and conducive to the freed slaves best interest. The only thing that kept this from happening, was his assassination.
MYTH - The South revered slavery.
FACT - A very interesting fact on slavery is that at the time the War of 1861 -1865 officially commenced, the Southern States were actually in the process of freeing all slaves in the South. Russia had freed it's servants in 1859, and the South took great note of this. Had military intervention not been forced upon the South, a very different America would have been realized then as well as now.
MYTH - The Confederate Army was comprised of rich slave owners.
FACT - Very far from true. The vast majority of soldiers in the Confederate Army were simple men of meager income. Most of which were hard working farmers and common men. Then, as now, very few rich men ever fight a war.
MYTH - Only the North had men of color in their ranks.
FACT - Quite simply a major falsehood of history. Many blacks, both free and of their own will, joined the Confederate Army to fight for their beloved Southern home. Additionally, men of other ethnic extraction fought as well. Oriental, Mexican & Spanish men as well as Native American Indians fought with pride for the South.
Today, many men of color are members in the heritage group SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans. These men of color and pride rejoice in their heritage. The continued attacks on the Southern Nation, The Confederacy, and her symbols are a terrible outrage to these fine people. These attacks should be denounced with as much fervor as those who denounce the South.
MYTH - The Confederate Flags are an authorized symbol of Aryan, KKK and hate groups.
FACT - Quite the contrary. These dispicable organizations such as the KKK and Aryans have taken a hallowed piece of history, and have plagued good Southern folks and the memories of fine Confederate Soldiers that fought under the flag with their perverse agenda. IN NO WAY does the Confederate Flag represent hate or violence. Heritage groups such as the SCV battle daily the damage done to a proud nation by these hate groups. The SCV denounces all hate groups, and pridefully boast HERITAGE - NOT HATE.
MYTH - The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are a racist, hate group.
FACT - This is a blatant attack on one of the finest heritage groups ever. The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are a historical, patriotic and non-political organization comprised of descendents of Confederate Soldiers and sailors dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861 -1865 period is preserved and presented to the public. The SCV continues to educate the public of the memory and reputation of the Confederate soldier as well as the motives for his suffering and sacrifice.
The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are in NO WAY affiliated with, nor does it recognize or condone the terrible legacy of hate groups such as the KKK.

thank you johny reb
Its a beautuful song,a confederate song!
i love you dixie land
If you're travelling southbound in the Mid-West, does Dixieland start where Indiana meets Kentucky, or where Kentucky meets Tennessee? Bear in mind that Kentucky was a Union State during the civil. There was a confederate government of Kentucky, but it operated in exile, in the southern part of the State, for it was only down there that the majority of people had confederate sympathies and next the official border between the United States of America (USA) and Confederate States of America (CSA), whereas the capital city remained a Unionist state capital.

Great southern songs, greetings from Miami
