- "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is a hymn by American writer Julia Ward Howe using the music from the song "John Brown's Body". Howe's more famous lyrics were written in November 1861 and first published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. It became popular during the American Civil War. Since that time it has become an extremely popular and well-known American patriotic song.
Staying at the Willard Hotel in Washington on the night of November 18, 1861, Howe awoke with the words of the song in her mind and in near darkness wrote the verses to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". Of the writing of the lyrics, Howe remembered:
I went to bed that night as usual, and slept, according to my wont, quite soundly. I awoke in the gray of the morning twilight; and as I lay waiting for the dawn, the long lines of the desired poem began to twine themselves in my mind. Having thought out all the stanzas, I said to myself, 'I must get up and write these verses down, lest I fall asleep again and forget them.' So, with a sudden effort, I sprang out of bed, and found in the dimness an old stump of a pen which I remembered to have used the day before. I scrawled the verses almost without looking at the paper. - ตลก
When people try to belittle the fact that the civil war was about slavery, one only needs to listen to the words of the battle hymn of the republic. It wasn't just a war, it was a holy war to end the terror of slavery. Listen to the whole thing. There is a reason Lincoln and the soldiers loved it so much. It gives me chills.
There were many reasons for the civil war. As a historian I have studied the civil war quite a bit. It was about states rights, slavery, miscommunication, and mass hysteria
Gusgus 1212 it was pretty much slavery. Everything else was synonymous with or a bi- product of “ the peculiar institution”.
It was about slavery.. The men of the day said as much.. The cornerstone speech by Alexander Stephens, and the articles of secession by the various states, which are littered with rhetoric about slavery, and had virtually zero language about states rights.. My state, Texas, mentions the words slave, slavery, or slave-holding 27 time, and doesn’t mention states right once..
The states rights nonsense is revisionist BS.. I do think miscommunication was a factor, certainly..
@@jacobjones5269 Nah man it was 100% about states' rights. States' rights to permit slavery.
@@jacobjones5269 Yes, slavery was a huge part of it, but the big picture is from the South's perspective is that it was about the Federal Government not being able to forcefully decree something to the states Top Down, while the aim of abolishing slavery was moral just and noble, it did set a precedent that we still deal with the concequences of today, the Founding Fathers universally agreed that States reserved a Right to Succeed from the Union, the Feds not allowing the CSA to Succeed was actually Unconstitutional from the perspective of the Founders
I see he got it right. It's let us die to set men free.
I enjoy both versions... We should be willing and honores to do both. Indeed it is become of us to die for what is right but much more difficult is it to live for what is right. So i sing both live and die.
A message from the past that every American needs to hear.
God Bless You Mr. Orson Welles, wherever you are!
'Frasier' (Kelsey Grammar) must have been influenced by Welles. When I just listen to Welles, I can hear Frasier.

such a dramatic story but soo true it broke our union in half, and was family against family, brother against brother, father against son, just like how the military taps solo came to be, hope we dont go that route again but its as divided as were were since the civil rights movement, while our enemies wait at the gates and inside our electronics in our homes, we got to wake up as a nation and come togather over something, and regain our faith or we die, no the founders weren't perfect but they were on to an idea that was good and noble at least on the surface, I miss when we had competint leaders, could come togather over what united us, and when people knew at least what it ment to be a citizen from the usa and what was expected and at least as a whole practiced, no one is perfect, and people even the greatest of men will fall or have skelitons in the closet, but what I do know is prudence and common sense and sense of is this best for the nation are lacking, we cant go on much more like this

I'd rather preach the word of God than talk about something in regards to the country. We can get history lessons in many places. But good preaching to lost people on the street and not an unbiblical church building (Acts 7:48-50) is hard to find. Jesus Christ sets people free from being slaves to sin.
He's talking about the history of a Christian hymn. Reminding people that ours was a God fearing country and could be again is important to prevent people from being discouraged.
Yeah theological indoctrination is obviously way better than setting men free as Jesus originally wanted. You belittle Jesus's whole existence by claiming the struggle against slavery isn't more important than any other cause.
@@panzerofthelake506 Well, I'd say saving souls from hell is more important even than ending slavery. As for "theological indoctrination" Jesus was a rabi for crying out loud
@@panzerofthelake506its certainly better than what the rainbow posse has planned

Slavery wasn't the only issue that caused the ACW.
The splitting of the USA was threatened by the difference between an agriculturally based on a socio-culrural-economic structure, with the vision of a European balance of power, which is why the American Civil War was fought. The issue of slavery is parallel with these other factors.
The fact that the British Army's & Royal Navy's officers during the War of 1822 observed that the radical differences between the North and South of the USA were bound to lead to a civil war is testament to the fact that slavery was 1 of several gigantic issues that caused tge civil war.
The spectre of more than 2 countries occupying what was tge USA, with many states yet to come into being, meant that civil war was on the cards. The USA wasn't called The Great Experiment for nothing when it was declared in 1776.
Slavery was BY FAR the primary cause of the civil war, just read Dixieland’s Declaration of Independence, it is so obvious
