That yankee song.
I find “that Yankee song” utterly detestable. It’s a vile celebration of killing freedom-loving Southerners in their own homeland. It was written by a Christ-denying Unitarian radical, Julia Ward Howe.
Here are two sermons about it for anyone interested:

“That yankee song.”
Bump!
My exact reaction when I read the headline.
That Unitarian hymn to god-like government.
