Finding audio for a historical doc in the 1800's

[budha]

Does anyone have any good ideas of what kind of music I can use for a period piece like this? I watched Ken Burns' Civil War, but I don't know what that would be called on a stock audio site.

Thanks!

Most of what Burns used was folk and popular music of the day.
