citizens fought oppression since the beginning of slavery, and this music
represented that resistance. Jazz music has a foundation of the basic rules of

patriarchy by taking note of the Jazz music on records and on the radio to
encourage their fellow Americans to have faith in their country, and the freedom

freedom by connecting to patriotic films to get their point across to the world.
This act caused Hitler and Stalin to fear the result Jazz music would have on
all who listens who could be influenced by the concept of freedom, and
patriotism.
