I always wondered why a state that was burned down by Sherman would choose the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Odd.

Because the tune for the Battle Hymn of the Old Republic was borrowed from "John Brown's Body" which in turn got it from "Say brothers, will you meet us?" an old campfire tune.

Also, Sherman was a POS war criminal.
