The Minstrel Boy

Today I learned of something contrary to what I had believed to know regarding minstrel.  I had become familiar with a so called white man acting and/or singing in what was called black face to be a minstrel show.  However, "The Minstrel Boy" is an Irish patriotic song written by Thomas Moore regarding the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
