- Inspired by their family upbringing, personal motivation, and religious belief, the members of the 19th-century Hutchinson Family Singers played a vital role in an era of interracial social action. They crafted brilliant lyrics set atop well-known tunes and spread the antislavery message across the northern United States and England. Critics and fans said many things about the Hutchinsons, and they earned public praise (as well as scorn) at a level comparable to any renowned public figure then or now. Yet everyone agreed that the singers were dead set on stopping the enslavement of black men and women in the American South.
In 1860, John Hutchinson campaigned enthusiastically for
Abraham Lincoln, publishing a book of campaign songs, "Hutchinson's
Republican Songster," which featured the song “Lincoln and
Liberty.”

LYRICS
Hurrah for the choice of the nation, our chieftain so brave and so true
We'll go for the great reformation, for Lincoln and liberty too.
We'll go for the son of Kentucky, the hero of hoosierdom through
The pride of the “Suckers” so lucky, for Lincoln and Liberty too.
Then up with the banner so glorious, the star-spangled red, white and blue
We'll fight 'till our banner's victorious, for Lincoln and liberty too.
Come all you true friends of the nation, attend to humanity's call
Come aid in the slaves' liberation, and roll on the liberty ball.
We'll finish the temple of freedom, and make it capacious within
That all who seek shelter may find it, whatever the hue of their skin.
Then up with the banner so glorious, the star-spangled red, white and blue
We'll fight 'till our banner's victorious, for Lincoln and liberty too.
I love how into it the lead male singer is. Now that is a man who is for Lincoln and Liberty
AMAZING stage presence.
Hurrah for the choice of the nation
Our chieftain so brave and so true
We'll go for the great reformation
For Lincoln and liberty too!
We'll go for the son of Kentucky
The hero of hoosierdom through
The pride of the suckers so lucky
For Lincoln and liberty too
Then up with the banner so glorious
The star-spangled red, white and blue
We'll fight 'till our banner's victorious
For Lincoln and liberty, too
Come all you true friends of the nation
Attend to humanity's call
Come aid in the slaves' liberation
And roll on the liberty ball!
We'll finish the temple of freedom
And make it capacious within
That all who seek shelter may find it
Whatever the hue of their skin!
Success to the old-fashioned doctrine
That men are created all free
And down with the power of the despot
Wherever his stronghold may be!
And UP! with the Banner!
And up the banner ao glorious!
Then up with the banner so glorious
The star-spangled red white and blue
We'll fight till our banner's victorious
For Lincoln and Liberty too!
I just discovered the Hutchinson Family Singers through doing family history, my 3rd great grandfather Jacob Flynn Hutchinson was 2nd cousins to them.
That is so cool. What a wonderful legacy!
Just amazing I’m a follower and a fan now! Even in these days you can still feel a rallying call to work through these songs of liberty and freedom for all.
Thank you for your nice message. Much appreciated.
Brilliant
Such a beautiful performance. I miss playing this music ❤️
Miss you, Luke.
This was a great concert! So original and inventive. I had not heard of the Hutchinsons until your concert. I learned a lot. :-)

You are most welcome, Sebastian. Thanks for watching.
Love!
Very nice
Great to stumble across this by chances algorithm.
Thank you, Keith!
WONDERFUL! The most inspiring version of this song I've ever heard. How would I go about using this on a documentary film?
For the Revolutionary War and Federalist period parts of the film, I'm using the original tune and song, Jefferson & Liberty.
Thanks for your compliment and inquiry. For film placement, please send an email: jordan@roseensemble.org
A Lincoln Bank Note in my hand too. BAK, Citizen of the United States of America. Brian Albert Koller
Beautiful guitar. It looks to be a civil war era guitar, although not 100% sure it actually is. It's still a similar type of guitar as would have been seen during the period.
Thanks for your comment. It is a late 19th-century Martin parlor guitar.
@@RoseEnsemble So I was right! Thanks for the response.

Where can I purchase a copy of this recording?

This piano sound is similar than acordeon... What's name of this instrument?
It is called a parson's organ.
Do you mean the organ?
AND THEY SAID THE CIVIL WAR WAS NOT ABOUT SLAVERY ?
The Union fought to keep separatists in the Union. The Confederacy fought to keep slaves. When Lincoln published his emancipation proclamation, it didn't apply to slave states in the Union, so we have a hypocritical situation where the Union claims to be fighting slavery yet allows slavery in the Union.
@@ShangZilla Hi, I've been a student of the Civil War for years and never saw a record of slavery being allowed after the Emancipation Proclamation...Could you tell me where you got this fact from? I am always open to learn more.
@@carydagnese5484 Have you even read the Emancipation proclamation? It didn't apply to slave states loyal to the Union. It only applied to slave states in rebellion.

@@carydagnese5484 During the entire war there was slavery in the Union. It was only after the war when slavery was abolished in Union. The emancipation proclamation had nothing to do with morality of the slavery. It was very practical political move. Firstly, since slavery was legal in Union, the escaped slaves who defected to the Union were still legally property and contraband. Due to the existing laws, the Union would be legally obligated to return the property to their rightful owners. The proclamation solved this problem. Secondly, Britain and France already abolished slavery. The proclamation made any official recognition and support for Confederacy from those 2 major powers politically impossible.
@@ShangZilla Yes, I see you are totally correct about this ! I guess I was confused about the status of the border states. Thank you for enlightening about this... Are you a member of this singing group doing Lincoln and liberty song? I see there is one maybe Chinese girl? I married a Chinese girl from Guangdong Provence while I was teaching English in China...Thank you and have a happy day!...Cary
