The Bonnie Flag with the Stripes and Stars
James Lorraine Geddes. 1863.

Sheet music from the Civil War North often featured illustrations of the U.S. flag.
The third verse reads:
We do not want your Cotton, we care not for your slaves
But rather than divide this land, we’ll fill your southern graves
With Lincoln for our Chieftain, we’ll wear our country’s scars
We rally round that brave old flag, that bears the Stripes and Stars!
