-
Abraham Lincoln's official campaign song in 1860.
-
Hardly a Presidential candidate in 19th century America won an election without having his name linked to liberty in a song.
-
Lincoln's was a natural, as his stand for liberty was a key issue of the campaign and it made an alliteration with his name.
-
The tune is Rosin the Beau, an old Irish song that was frequently parodied.
