JUDY COLLINS - "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" video free download

Steven Torrey

Mark Holt needs a lesson in History and a frontal lobotomy. The War Between the States represented the righteous cause of ending slavery. Lincoln was a powerful and vocal critic of slavery; most people saw slavery as a failure of Jefferson's ideal that "All men are created equal..." Only a fool thinks the Civil War had anything to do with State's Rights--it had everything to do with slavery.

@Quentin217 You disgusting traitor. You ought to be put up against a wall and shot.

This poetry sends chills up my spine. ISIS, be warned.

To understand the beauty this hymn, the key is the Holy Bible. The freedom is from sin(hate,murder,witchcraft,lust etc) through the belief in Christ....for a republic to be truly great sin must be absent...Hymns are about God, not to be claimed by white or black, but to glorify God Almighty

You are correct, Julia Ward Howe wrote "... let us die to make men free". I read that it was changed in protest of the Korean War. Usually the "let us live" version is sung today. But back during the Civil War they were less squeamish about the idea of dying for a cause. "As He died... let us die" does make more sense than "as He died... let us live". I wish Judy had sung the whole song instead of just the one verse!

Americus Patrioticus

You are right. The US civil war was pure hell on earth with a body count to match. It was fought for the just cause of keeping the USA united and to eliminate slavery. The Confederates were defending an institution which has never had a right to exist at any point in human history and never will. There is no logical proof to justify slavery, and endless proofs against it. Anybody who enslaves another lowers themselves to the level of a criminal.

Americus Patrioticus

Man can enslave another and feel no guilt the same way a corporate raider in the 1980's could take over a viable company with other peoples' money so they could steal the workers' pensions with no guilt. According to some studies, ~25% percent of business leaders are psychotic. These are the same personality profiles who have placed themselves in positions of power through the ages and then abused that power. That is why we have a 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms of military quality.

John Brown was aganist slaverly, and his truth did march on! A sad period in our our american history. How can man enslave another, and feel no guilt.

Mark Holt

Is there anyone here other than I who sees the blatant blasphemy of insinuating that the invasion of the Confederate States of America and Lincoln's war was a Godly enterprise? This song is a sickening and disgusting specimen of wartime propaganda. It is hard to find anyone in modern times who has any understanding at all of the scope of the distruction, death, and misery that such propaganda promoted and contributed to.

Great version of an amazing battle hymn! One question though, isn't the correct lyric "As he died to make man holy, let us die to make man free..."?
