But that would annoy everybody south of the Mason Dixon Line . . .
That said, the Battle Hymn is a great song (even though it was written by an early socialist and the wife of the man who funded John Brown's raid . . . ). When they sang it at Pres. Reagan's funeral, they did the same Peter Wilhousky arrangement that we used to sing in the high school chorus. Best arrangement going . . . sent chills up my spine.

I'm as seriously pro-southerner as they get. Still, that song says exactly what it America is about. I think you'll find a number of southerners probably agree.

Yeah, and I will always remember the Brits singing the Battle Hymn during a special service in London attended by President Bush right after 9/11. Simply awesome!

I wholeheartedly concur.
As a musical composition, the Anthem leaves much to be desired.
