The Union Wagon

In the 1864 election, both the National Union Party and the Democratic Party used songs and poems as campaign propaganda. This song supports Abraham Lincoln and the Union cause. The last verse reads: "There is none can smash this wagon it's powerful and strong, It was built by Gen. Washington and those who hated wrong, Its wheels were made by freemen and patriots pushed it 'long, Then we'll vote for honest Abraham, who kept free so long."
