Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Peer review/Music of the American Civil War
I think this is a topic that could easily become a future FA. I was wondering what else could be done to get it to GA. I plan on a section denoting the differences between northern and southern versions of certain songs. Should Music history of the United States during the Civil War era be merged with this article, or can both remain separate?--Gen. Bedford his Forest 22:43, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit]- Did either governments make any policies to encourage/commission musical works to raise the morale of the people. I see the article talks about some popular people's songs but did the Confeds or Lincoln sponsor composers or bands to play music at rallies to recruits townsfolk and all of that?
- Is there any information on whether people got put in jail or got banned for anti-war music, if there was any?

- I'm sure they inspired rallies, so I'll look. Anti-war music was generally the other side's music; remember, Lincoln was someone who removed habeus corpus whenever he felt like it. Thanks for the idea.--Gen. Bedford his Forest 11:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
