From the end of the Revolutionary War through to the antebellum era, music made front page news and brought men to blows. Both common citizens and politiciansaeven early presidents of the young nationaused well-known songs to fuel heated debates over the meaning of liberty, the future and nature of the republic, and Americans' proper place within it. As both propaganda and protest, music called for allegiance to a new federal government, spread utopian visions of worldwide revolution, broadcast infringements on American freedoms, and spun exaggerated tales of national military might. In Hail Columbia!, author Laura Lohman uncovers hundreds of songs circulated in newspapers, broadsides, song collections, sheet music, manuscripts, and scrapbooks over the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. These give evidence that a diversity of Americansaelite lawyers, immigrant actresses, humble craftsmen, and African American abolitionistsaemployed music for political purposes, creating new and deeply partisan lyrics to famous tunes of "Yankee Doodle," "The Star-Spangled Banner," and the like. These charged versions found their way to electioneering, tavern gatherings, presidential encomia, street theatre, and community celebrations, making song a political weapon between neighbours and citizens, to hail the new nation in partisan terms." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Music $x History $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Music $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Political ballads and songs $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Patriotic music $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 18th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6240CDE29FDF11EA86A3D44697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
