Chapter Manifest Destiny 12 1818-1853
The United States was made up of people who had emigrated from many places in the world.
Our first national motto was, "E Pluribus Unum"its Latin for "One from many" or "One from many parts." It refers to the welding of a single federal state from a group of individual political units -- originally colonies and now states.
Many Americans remained on the move as the United States extended its political borders and grew economically.
Richard Caton Woodville’s War News from Mexico,
first exhibited in 1848, was perhaps the most
popular of the political paintings. This lithograph
As I was lumb'ring down de street down de street down de street A pretty girl I chanc'd to meet O she was fair to view CHORUS Den lubly Fan will you cum out to night, will you cum out to night, will you cum out to night, Den lubly Fan will you cum out to night, An dance by de lite ob de moon.
2. I stopt her an I had some talk, Had some talk, Had some talk, But her foot covered up de whole side walk And left no room for me. (CHORUS) 3. She's de prettiest gal ibe seen in my life, Seen in my life, Seen in my life, An I wish to de Lord she was my wife, Den we would part no more. .
"Oh Susannah" was set with new lyrics and became known as the "forty-niners" theme song. This version was sung by miners during the California Gold Rush.
I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I'm going to Louisiana, My true love for to see It rained all night The day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night When everything was still I thought I saw Susanna A-coming down the hill The buckwheat cake Was in her mouth The tear was In her eye Says I, I'm coming from the south Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee
I came from Salem City with my washpan on my knee I'm going to California, the gold dust for to see.
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry The sun so hot I froze to death, Oh, brothers don't you cry.
Oh, Susannah, Oh, don't you cry for me I'm going to California with my washpan on my knee.
I soon shall be in Frisco and there I'll look around. And when I see the gold lumps there, I'll pick them off the ground.
I'll scrape the mountains clean, my boys, I'll drain the rivers dry. A pocketful of rocks bring home, So, brothers don't you cry.
