“Battle Hymn of the Republic, The,” song popular among Union partisans in the Civil War, was written by
Julia Ward Howe at the suggestion of
J.F. Clarke, when both were visiting McClellan's troops in December 1861. The words, whose chief message Mrs. Howe described as “the sacredness of human liberty,” were to be sung to the tune of
John Brown's Body, which is ascribed to William Steffe (c.1856). James T. Fields is said to have named the “Battle Hymn,” and he was responsible for its publication in the
Atlantic Monthly (Feb. 1862).
