Lorena: civil war song


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5i1s8FKoku8

The song was popular with both sides in the civial war. It is reported that at night the song would begin on one side of the battle line with the other side joining in melodious voice. The love song would stir such  homesickness among both sides that come morning the lines of combat would be emptied by soldiers returning home.

This song was subsequently banned among the combatants.
