It is a song, that was played by the Confederates and was regarded as the Confederate anthem. The reason behind this was that there were very few songs at the time.

It caused widespread division between those who sang it and those who were keen on the lyrics. The song was full of racist slurs and was composed during the era of slave trade where African-Americans were actively discriminated against (Qureshi 2018)....
