Showing Original Post only (View all)Did anyone else sing Battle Hymn of the Republic in school? [View all]
I distinctly remember singing it in 1st through 4th grade when I was still living in Texas. And I am pretty damned sure why I was made to sing it -- us southerners had to sing a Union song to get it through our thick heads that we were wrong and that's why we lost. Maybe we need to make it mandatory in all red states to be sung on a daily basis. Maybe we can get Sessions to lead us.

Yes, and we had to sing it in Church on Palm Sunday last year. So, I quit the choir and the church.

Yes. Our 1950s-1960s school songbooks had quite a section of songs related to war & patriotism...

Someone, perhaps the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, changed "die" to "live." Atlantic
