The song "Dixie"

https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/31/the-birth-of-dixie/

Is this established fact or did someone else write the song? I have received info that the song was written by others.

"The Real Composers of ‘Dixie Land’' The National Anthem for the Confederacy were two Free Black Brothers from Maryland In 1860. They were Ben and Lou Snowden. Dan Emmett is said to have attended a show the Snowden's produced and Plagiarized their song."

Thanks,
