"Slavery's Passed Away and Other Songs" by Various is a collection of songs that reflects on the experiences and emotions surrounding slavery, likely written during the late 19th century. The book consists of lyrics that capture the pain and struggle of enslaved people, as well as their eventual liberation, highlighting themes of freedom and remembrance. The content serves as a historical account of the African American experience during and after the Civil War. The collection features songs such as "Slavery's Passed Away," which recounts the sorrow of the past while celebrating the freedom won through struggle, particularly emphasizing the impact of Abraham Lincoln's actions. Other pieces like "Ole Shady" and "The Little Log Cabin on the Hill" depict individual narratives of escaping slavery and reminiscing about home and lost loved ones. Overall, the songs serve to both document the painful legacy of slavery and celebrate the resilience and joy of those who achieved freedom, creating a rich tapestry of collective memory and emotion.
