The Birth of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic. #AmericanHistory, #CivilWar, #CulturalLegacy,

In 1861, writer Julia Ward Howe awoke before dawn in Washington, inspired by soldiers marching below her window. That morning, she wrote the words to ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic,’ a song that carried hope through the darkest days of the Civil War — a melody of courage that still echoes in America’s heart.” #AmericanHistory, #CivilWar, #CulturalLegacy, #USMusic,
