-Caveat Lector- Interestingly, Dixie was probably written by a black man. It was also said to have been one of Lincoln's favorite songs and one that he had played after the war ended.

[CTRL] Chief Justice Celebrates Days of Slavery
-Caveat Lector- Chief Justice Offends Some Lawyers WASHINGTON (AP) - Chief Justice William Rehnquist led a sing-along of ``Dixie'' at a recent conference in Virginia, upsetting lawyers who view the song as a nostalgic appeal to the days of slavery. Some black lawyers said they avoided last month's 4th Circuit Judicial Conference because of their distaste for ``Dixie,'' which was included in a song book distributed for the event and has been sung before. The songs are mostly American standards, including ``America the Beautiful'' and ``Anchors Aweigh.'' The evening typically ends with ``The Battle Hymn of the Republic'' and ``Dixie,'' a Confederate marching song. ``Dixie'' is offensive to blacks, said Brent O.E. Clinkscale, a black attorney. ``I think it's nostalgic for slavery,'' he said. Rehnquist, 74, declined to comment on the controversy. Defenders of ``Dixie'' say the song is a piece of Americana that is appropriate for a mostly Southern conference. The 4th Circuit event is for lawyers and judges from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
