Also, Sherman was a POS war criminal.[/quote]
Yes, he was a war criminal against the people of your state (among others). And John Brown's body was created by the Massachusetts infantry mustering to fight the South in 1861.
Yet a half a century later you pick the song that had become synonymous with his cause and which justified his actions. I'm not weighing in on the politics, just noting that it is damn weird Georgia chose that particular song. Especially during that era in history. It is like Poland picking Deutchland Uberalis.

JBB still borrowed the tune from the campfire song, but I don't disagree that it is a bit odd. It is a good song and music though, so I don't mind.
I'm not exactly sure when that became our song, sometime in the 1890's, but the men who started UGA were mostly Yale alumni so it may have been a nod to the north considering the time period.
Our official fight song is not "Glory, Glory" though. It is "Hail to Georgia".
Auburn also has a version of the song called "Glory, Glory to Ole Auburn".
