Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Minstrel shows were immensely popular in the US between the 1830s and 1870s, and they often featured the songs of Stephen Foster. The shows typically included white performers in blackface performing ridicule, comedy, and variety acts with music and dance. While some of the songs may have romanticized slavery, they typically portrayed African Americans in a derogatory way. The shows were not similar to operatic shows, and primarily working-class audiences embraced them.
