The Battle Hymn of the Republic words as published in the February, 1862, issue of The Atlantic Monthly are slightly different from those in the original manuscript version by Julia Ward Howe as documented in her Reminiscences 1819-1899, published in 1899.
Shortly thereafter she sent the poem to the Atlantic Monthly, which paid her $4 for it and gave it the name the âBattle Hymn of the Republic,â publishing it on its front page in February of 1862. It became one of the most popular songs of the Civil War era and has been an enduring patriotic tune for 150 years.
