Document Summary
Briefly mention the role postcards played then, how this card was sourced from the south. Argue this postcard is not representative of acvtual slavery, a relic born from the dreamlike fantasy desired and promoted by the white population. This paper makes this case through an analysis of the text and visual elements. Briefly cite the song"s origin, then delve into its historical inaccuracies. No discussion of beating or hard labour. Mention there have been songs about slavery written by slaves, one in baptist"s writing, that includes discussion on torture. Paired with a large illustration of a rosy landscape. Illustration: posture of slaves, no tattered clothes (all clothed, no one naked) Lush and green, overall an inaccurate depiction of the sentiment. But argue that accurate depictions have been made before. Bar of music furhter enforces rosy depicition song not a cry for help or an expression of an authentic experience, instead one manufactured for amusement.
