During the Civil War, musical fluidity led to an outpouring of songs written about the
conflict. With every popular song came at least one set of alternate lyrics known as
contrafacta. In this thesis, I analyze Northern anthem “The Battle Cry of Freedom,”and
Southern anthems “The Bonnie Blue Flag” and “Dixie” and their contrafacta. Through
the lens of contrafacta, I analyze how the North and the South understood the terms
“liberty” and “freedom.”
