If you read the lyrics of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”, it refers to killing American civilians, families....

ROFLMAO!

Suuuure it does:

Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning Of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

(ending)

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free;
While God is marching on.

Do you think "Rock-a-by-Baby" means everyone should have an abortion?

Well if you guys can see racism in the Confederate Flag, why do you get upset if someone sees something in your battle song?
