Wiki
This song is about Jacksonville, Illinois and poetically explores the past and present of the town, from it being named after Andrew Jackson to the schools for the deaf and blind that it’s known for.
Jacksonville was a major stopping point in the Underground Railroad, a network that helped slaves escape the South prior to the US Civil War.
