Original Note:
Jingle Bells was written by James Lord Pierpont 1857. The main line was inspired by the noise of jingle bells on the horses’ harnesses, which were used to try to help avoid collisions in the snow in the mid-19th century. No mention of slaves, the song is about sleigh races https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/jingle-bells-christmas-song/#:~:text=At%20the%20time%2C%20%E2%80%9CJingle%20Bells,Christmas%20in%20the%20original%20lyrics. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/meet-american-wrote-jingle-bells-james-lord-pierpont-dashing-dreamer-scandalous-rebel
