This study of American liberty and war songs is among the first to
examine them in a historical and literary context and to focus
almost exclusively on the lyrics. Unlike other works that are
primarily songbooks, this book provides a fresh view of an
important aspect of American culture and offers new insight into
the thoughts and feelings of Americans during periods of crisis.
Special attention is given to the songs that emerged from the early
American wartime experiences, including those written before and
during the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the
Civil War, with an emphasis on the similarities and differences in
song themes, techniques and styles.
