**Rebo** – Bull Run and Manassas are two ways of referring to the same battle site.

Well, I have learned something today. I didn’t know _Camptown Races_ was composed by Stephen Foster. In fact, I would have lost a bet if I was pressed. I thought its roots were much older than Stephen Foster.

When I wrote the question, I was thinking of _Sewanee River, Oh Susanna, My Old Kentucky Home, Old Black Joe, and Beautiful Dreamer_.

Does not matter. It is the most common answer right now. if it stays that way, Madison would be the right answer for the Feud.

I’ll be annoyed if incorrect answers like Madison, Cleveland, or Taft outscore correct answers (like Monroe).

12. Though I believe its official name is “Old Folks at Home”, and not the proper spelling of the river’s name either.
13. It has another name that escapes me at the moment.
14. or Samuel Clemens of course

Must be a variation on Gaudere’s Law. Right after complaining about other people posting incorrect answers, I find one of my own is incorrect.
