About this book
In a time marked by civil strife and moral upheaval, "The Story of the Battle Hymn of the Republic" by Florence Howe Hall delves into the profound impact of Julia Ward Howe's stirring anthem. This historical account examines the hymn's roots in the fight for abolition and its embodiment of the era's fervent cries for justice and equality. Hall highlights the significance of the phrase "glory, glory, hallelujah" and the hymn's role as a rallying cry for Union soldiers, capturing the spirit of a nation at war with itself. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this compelling narrative reveals how a simple song became a powerful symbol of hope and resilience during one of America's darkest chapters.
