A good Southern war-date patriotic song sheet, ca. 1861, 1p. 8vo., entitled: "The Flag of Secession," set to the tune of the Star Spangle Banner, reading, in part: "Oh, say cant you see…what you yesterday held to be vaunting and dreaming, the Northern men routed and Abe Lincoln in flight, and the palmetto flag o'er the Capitol streaming…gave proof through the night that the Yankees were there, now the flag of secession in triumph doth wave o'er the land of the freed and home of the brave. Midst the dust that is raised by the fugitives feet…see the Rail Splitter running in panting retreat…he hurries away with a jump and a scream…where is the despot who came to our soil…his minions disguising…such is the welcome the Southron bestows on the minions who strive to make slaves of a nation, we've a hand for our friends but the sword for our foes…the Northmen shall shrink from our warrior's might and the flag of secession in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the freed…".
