This sheet music cover takes its title from Chicora, an early name for the region that later became Carolina, and it presents that older name as a emblem for the new Southern nation. Published in 1861, the year the Confederate states formed, it was drawn by F. Roeth and lithographed in Philadelphia by Thomas Sinclair, while its dedication to "the patriotic ladies of the Southern Confederated States" shows its intended audience. The record also links the piece to Elias Marks and the South Carolina Female Collegiate Institute in Columbia, tying a women's school and its musical community to the secession-era mood of the state. Covers like this one show how popular song carried political feeling into middle-class parlors.
