It indicated that the positive answerer was pro-slavery.
A Ball State Professor helped me with writing and publishing, https://www.kshs.org/publicat/history/2009autumn_redd.pdf . While Google found several newspaper reprints, the original seemed to best be found in the Library of Congress and is transcribed here: https://www.waywordradio.org/discussion/topics/sound-on-the-goose-question-origin-found/ .
I learned of the unknown origin of the phrase in a KUMR radio program heard in G9 in the Physics Building.
