“and wire it’s horn to play the Battle Hymm of the Republic”

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

What do you think “trample out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored”?

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?

Nope. You're projecting how you feel about Northern battle conduct onto lyrics that have nothing to do with specific tactics.

Read Lincoln's Second Inaugural and ask yourself that question again.
