GULF STATES, INCLUDING FLORIDA AND LOUISIANA: MISCELLANEOUS.; EDITORS' NOTE 330 $aFirst published in 1867, Slave Songs of the United States represents the work of its three editors, all of whom collected and annotated these songs while working in the Sea Islands of South Carolina during the Civil War, and also of other collectors who transcribed songs sung by former slaves in other parts of the country. The transcriptions are preceded by an introduction written by William Francis Allen, the chief editor of the collection, who provides his own explanation of the origin of the songs and the circumstances under which they were sung. One critic has noted that, like the editors' introductions to slave narratives, Allen's introduction seeks to lend to slave expressions the honor of white authority and approval. Gathered during and after the Civil War, the songs, most of which are religious, reflect the time of slavery, and their collectors worried that they were beginning to disappear. Allen declares the editors' purpose to be to preserve, "while it is still possible... these relics of a state of society which has passed away." 606 $aAfrican Americans$vMusic 606 $aFolk music$zUnited States 606 $aFolk songs, English$zUnited States 606 $aSpirituals (Songs)$zUnited States 606 $aSlaves$zUnited States$vSongs and music 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans 615 0$aFolk music 615 0$aFolk songs, English 615 0$aSpirituals (Songs) 615 0$aSlaves 676 $a781.6261 701 $aAllen$b William Francis$f1830-1889.$0189766 701 $aWare$b Charles Pickard$f1840-1921.$01029517 701 $aGarrison$b Lucy McKim$f1842-1877.$01029518 712 02$aUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.$bDocumenting the American South (Project) 712 02$aUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.$bLibrary. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457795503321 996 $aSlave songs of the United States$92445989 997 $aUNINA
