I think the song is showing that the North is carrying on, and not really caring anymore. They think everything is fixed after the civil war, but the former slaves are still struggling. They were still facing segregation and racism, but many people turned a blind eye. ]]> 2021-03-08 19:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ngavin6/5pcy9fi1uabeu6w2/wish/1284014994 muddin6 https://padlet.com/ngavin6/5pcy9fi1uabeu6w2/wish/1284018271 I think it’s the south and racism.

Then it changes, and they start talking about how they want it to be. They say he doesn’t plant taters or cotton. Which of course they didn’t then, but it represented what they felt like they do. He also says how he’s tired, scared, and doesn’t want to die. Which is how many of them felt at the time. He also mentioned how they “Gittin’ no rest till de Judgement Day.”  They then describe how Old man river suffers, but he keeps going. Just like how the African American community did back them. ]]> 2021-03-08 19:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ngavin6/5pcy9fi1uabeu6w2/wish/1284054850 sfujimaki https://padlet.com/ngavin6/5pcy9fi1uabeu6w2/wish/1284123451 I think old man river represents the north.
