"Slavery's Passed Away and Other Songs" by Various is a compilation of musical pieces that vividly portrays the trials and triumphs associated with enslavement, possibly composed in the waning years of the 1800s. The collection comprises lyrics that embody the suffering and perseverance of those who were enslaved, as well as their ultimate emancipation, with freedom and commemoration as central ideas. The writings function as a historical narrative of the African American journey during and following the Civil War. The compilation includes melodies such as "Slavery's Passed Away," which retells previous sorrows while honoring the liberation attained via hardship, with a special emphasis on the effects of Abraham Lincoln's choices. Other works, like "Ole Shady" and "The Little Log Cabin on the Hill," illustrate personal accounts of escaping enslavement and remembering home and cherished people who were lost. In general, the tunes serve to both record the tragic heritage of enslavement and commemorate the strength and delight of individuals who attained freedom, resulting in a vast compilation of shared memories and feelings.
