Written in 1859 by a blackface minstrel, the song became the national anthem for the confederacy during the American Civil War. After the war, with slavery abolished, 'Dixie' remained a potent symbol of the Old South. Generations of white Americans learned to love the song as a symbol of home and family. As African-Americans increasingly fought back against the racist policies of the Jim Crowe south, in the 1960's and 70's, black students risked their lives to end the song.
