Why do you think that many Americans currently consider "Dixie" a disturbing song? Can you identify two major social issues that could be connected to their reasoning?
What will be an ideal response?
First, "Dixie" originated in the minstrel show, which cruelly caricatured African Americans. Secondly, "Dixie" became associated with the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and is sometimes still considered an unpatriotic song. Between its unpatriotic connotations and its racist connections, "Dixie" is a somewhat controversial song today.
