Summary "Connecticut Wide-Awake Songster" by John W. Hutchinson and B. Jepson is a collection of campaign songs and political lyrics written during the late 19th century, specifically around 1860. The book serves as a reflection of the political climate during the rise of the Republican Party and the 1860 presidential election, focusing on Abraham Lincoln's candidacy and the themes of liberty and freedom. This compilation of songs was aimed at rallying support for Lincoln and promoting the ideals associated with the Republican platform of the time. The content of the book consists of various songs that express enthusiasm for Lincoln's presidency and call for action against slavery and oppression. Each piece is infused with a spirit of patriotism, encouraging citizens to unite, fight for their rights, and endorse the cause of free soil and labor. Themes of triumph, hope, and a determination to preserve the Union resonate throughout the lyrics, capturing the fervent feelings of the electorate during this pivotal moment in American history. The songs range from calls to arms to expressions of hope for a future free from the chains of slavery, making the "Connecticut Wide-Awake Songster" not just a collection of music, but a historical document reflecting the sentiments of a nation on the brink of significant change.
