| @[manly519:38274] excellent research. One thing I want to point out may relate to Helen Keller and the cannery line (or capital line, if capital means profit). Helen Keller was a renowned socialist in her later life and laid out what could be seen as a “map” for a more socialist society including unionized work forces and workers rights. Also it’s worth noting that Keller’s father, Arthur Keller, was a confederate captain in the civil war. With the tone of the song seeming to welcome progress, it’s almost comparing Keller’s ideas and open mindedness to the anti slavery stance the city was founded on. | |
