Your performances of these folk songs have given me such a ludicrous amount of inspiration for my creative writing for easily over 7 years now I just wanted to say thank you for keeping this sort of history alive for all to enjoy, and even keep alive themselves!

This song was written in 1862, a full year before the Emancipation Proclamation. From the very beginning of the war, some Union commanders began informally liberating slaves, and sheltering those who escaped to the Union army camps. When slaveowners complained that they had no legal right to shelter runaway slaves, and demanded that their "property" be returned to them, the Yankees gleefully pointed out that they had the right to CONFISCATE property as CONTRABAND of War. The joke was on the slaveowners, and for the rest of the war the many tens of thousands of former slaves who escaped to the Union lines were known as "Contrabands." That's why the singer in the song speculates that "Massa" with his dark tanned skin might try to pass for Contraband, while everybody eats ham, drinks cider, and waits to be "confiscated."

Sounding good fellers ~ Listening From the Union cannon position in my front yard at the Battlefield of Cumberland Church, Virginia. The last Confederate victory before the Appomattox surrender.

[@Impactjunky]

Despite its pro-union origins this song was enthusiastically adopted and popularized by southerners in the same motus and spirit of how the mocking tune Yankee Doodle was adopted by American revolutionaries, thus Kingdom Coming was very popular with southern bands both civilian and enlisted. So much that it is often mistaken for a confederate song, particularly when listeners hear the line about the slave master trying to "fool them yankees" out of context. The lyrics were written by unionist Henry Clay Work as a mockery of plantation creole, poking fun at the peculiar dialect possessed by enslaved southern African Americans. The song survived the ages thanks to its massive southern adoption and popularization and is now considered one of the most prominent Appalachian southern bluegrass standards.
