Summary "Songs and Ballads of the Southern People: 1861-1865" by Frank Moore is a historical collection published in the late 19th century. This compilation aims to preserve the voices and sentiments of the Southern people during the American Civil War, offering insights into their emotions, struggles, and expressions. The book serves as a significant cultural artifact, shedding light on the collective spirit and lyrical expressions prevalent in the South during these tumultuous years. The opening portion of the work presents an introduction by the editor, Frank Moore, who emphasizes the historical value of the songs and ballads included within. He notes that these songs capture the essence of the era and the sentiments of the people, urging readers to contribute additional works that may not have been collected before. Following this, a series of poems unfolds, each addressing themes such as freedom, bravery, resistance, and the Southern identity, encapsulating the fervor and patriotism of the time. The pieces reflect a deep sense of purpose among the contributors, as they express their commitment to their cause and the sacrifices they are willing to make for their land and loved ones.
