“As we go marching on…”

Two more reasons the American Civil War is so fascinating:

1. It was the last major American war to be fought to live musical accompaniment.
2. It was the first major American war to be fought with on-site photographers.

Battle Cry of Freedom

I’m collecting some civil war-era songs, & this is one of my favorites:

Interestingly enough, it was sung on both sides of the conflict as a “battle cry of freedom”… For Southern singers, of course, the refrain was “Dixie forever”, with “freedom” meaning freedom from federal intervention in what were seen as issues of state government.
