His father would listen to Jamaican…

20 April, 2018 R&R #5 1. What is the most important spoke in the CRM wheel and why? You may only choose one.

Music can have severe implications on life, especially during times of war, and the Civil War era is no exception. Anterior to Fort Sumter in South Carolina, enslaved African Americans were singing songs in the fields about freedom and living without the bonds of slavery.
