They also had songs call minstrels, but it mimicked African Americans, and a name of one of the songs was Jump Jim Crow, which had a racist meaning behind it.
- Another tune from America back then was something you might not know of. It was called cotillion. it was where a group of men and women as couples would learn to dance with strings and coordinated movements. They also had folk songs such as Oh Susana and Old Folks at Home, all written by Stephen Foster.
- But our names aren't later...
