Naemanson, that was priceless.

Downeast Bob, while Strange Fruit mentions the gallant south, I have to point out that the South was not the only place where lynchings happened. During the rebirth of the KKK in the 1920s, their largest membership was in the state of Indiana, and lynchings happened there too. (Saw a PBS documentary about the state of affairs in Marion, IN, some time ago.) Mister was born in Indiana in 1955, and remembers Jim Crow very well, although many people tend to believe that Mr. Crow only lived below the Mason-Dixon line. But of course, history is written by the victors, and the South lost.

If war songs count, the Battle of Shiloh's Hill is a good one.
