Folk song about revolution- When Johnny comes home again.

" When Johnny comes marching home" is an infamous Union song during the american revolution. The song carried out a steady militaristic beat that resembled the steady footsteps of the Union solder as their blue and red stripped flag waved victory. The name " Johnny" is a symbol of the solders from the North, while " Billy" is the symbol for the South. The first part of the song stated how when Johnny comes marching home, a symbolic language for when the Union solders gained victory, how the people rejoiced and welcomed him the best that they could. The second part of the song is similar to the first, it stated how the villagers will make wreaths and will throw him a Jubilee( a kind of anniversary) and celebrate with him by giving him 3 cheers( hip hip hooray three times) . The rest of the song than recited the events happening on each year during the civil war. In 1861 was when the war begun and in 1862, both sides were fighting hard and loosing a lot of men. In 1863, Abe( Lincoln) ended slavery. IN 1864, supporters for Abe grew and many came over to fight.  IN 1865, people predicted there to be a rebellion strife or a fundamental disagreement of the rebellion. THere are a couple of old fashioned vocabularies and old sayings such as " We will give the hero three times three". This, to a typical teenager today may be kind of confusing. This sing basically symbolizes the Union's victory during the war, I liked it because I like the chorus and the strong beat at the background.
