| Summary | "The Story of the Battle Hymn of the Republic" by Florence Howe Hall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the origins and significance of the iconic hymn during the Civil War, recounting the life and influence of its author, Julia Ward Howe, who was also the author’s mother. Hall delves into the social and political climate of the time, highlighting the anti-slavery movement and the personal experiences that led to the hymn’s creation. At the start of the narrative, the author sets a contextual backdrop by detailing the anti-slavery sentiments that pervaded Julia Ward Howe's upbringing and the fervent atmosphere surrounding the Civil War. The opening chapter discusses the gradual build-up to the conflict, including notable events like the Missouri Compromise and the emergence of political factions opposing slavery. Through a blend of personal memoir and historical recollection, Hall illustrates her mother's engagement with the abolitionist cause and foreshadows the creation of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," revealing how personal and national struggles intertwined during this pivotal period in American history.
