The Civil War started and ended in the exact same place and time, physically and culturally. While it is true that the shelling of Fort Sumter is typically considered to officially have been the first hostile actions shown between two definitive sides in the Civil War, it was not until the First Battle of Bull Run (also known as the Battle of First Manassas) that the men in the blue would eye musket-to-musket with those in the gray, ironically the very same location where General Lee would shake hands with Grant four years later to the very week in April in the McLean house at Appomattox.

Coincidentally as well, the tension felt between the North and the South was also no less than it was four years prior, and through the use of musical parodies, both sides had often taken it upon themselves to turn gallantry and national pride into mockery. Music certainly played an important role during the war, and while Union pieces were typically more march-like and orchestral and Confederate more melodic and deeply cultural, both had undoubtedly the least shred of hesitation to rip one to their adversaries and claim the moral high ground embodied by populism. And that’s exactly what the southern folk song “O I’m A Good Old Rebel” encompassed following its immediate release on the shelves of a Virginian drug store after the war’s end. By appealing to the shortcomings of the recently defeated Southern Confederacy through Northern mockery, “O I’m A Good Old Rebel” exhibits some of this cultural resentment and pride embodied through populism that still remains even up to today as a result of such a psychologically enduring and critical event of our country’s history.

Hoole Special Collections Library, The University of Alabama.With no indication of an explicit author save an identifying symbol found on the inside cover, it is difficult to trace the piece’s origins to an exact time and place. Through extensive research, it is rumored to have been written by Major James Randoph, a Virginian who served under General J.E.B. Stuart, one of the Confederacy’s trusted generals, though such findings cannot be confirmed as they are not officially recognized by the Library of Congress. What is known to be true, however, was that it was sold after the war in a Virginian drug store owned by a McMurren & Waddell evidenced by its multiple references of the Freedman’s Bureau and Reconstruction. No other information regarding the drug store company could be found, but often during this time other satirical pieces could be sold in similar accessible in order to make money off easy and unoriginal humor at the expense of one’s adversaries.Author’s Mark, “O I’m A Good Old Rebel.” 1865 Virginia: McMurren & Waddell.

Hoole Special Collections Library, The University of Alabama.In Battle Hymns, author Christian McWhirter details examples of such political satire pieces, often parodies of earlier war hymns tied together with nationalistic and populist messages on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line, such as in the case of W.H. Barnes’s “Battle Cry of Freedom” (pro-South) and Joe English’s “The Irish Volunteer” (pro-North) (McWhirter). However, in the case of “O I’m A Good Old Rebel,” the adopted tune unlike the others aforementioned is not in of itself a parody of a previous tune but instead adopts its tune as a rite of passage so that its politically charged lyrics may essentially spiteF the “damned Yankees” in “honorable” dedication to Republican Thaddeus Stevens.
