Battle Hymn of the Republic
I was just pointed to this
rendition of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and just had to share...
Some friends of mine pointed out that in the War of Northern Agression this was a propaganda tool. So was "Dixie". I grew up singing (not well) both these songs as I moved from West Virginia to Kentucky to Virginia with my "yankee" parents. Both mean a lot to me. Both songs deal with bigger things. I think now we've come to a time when we can think of them in light of the current war.
I'd like to post a good link to or video of "Dixie" but I can't find one!
