 In 1782 or there abouts, the British Army marched out of Yorktown to surrender to the Anglo-French Army of the Colonies to be free of English rule.  The English band played a song by the name, "The World Turned Upside Down."

In WWI, we were going to "Kick Kiser Bill in the Pants." and "Over There" were we wouldn't be back til it was over, "Over There."

In WWII we had "God Bless Amercia" then "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition." Towards the end, when we could see that we were going to win it was "Don't set Under the Apple Tree" til I come marching home.

In 1965, it was put silver wings on my sons chest, of the "Ballad of the Greet Bret."  Three years later after the start of the Viet Nam war protest we had Eric Burton and War singing "War, good God ya'll, What is it good for."  In a song titled "War.'

Custer killed natives to the tune of the "Gary Owen" and on and on.  Ever hear a Southern song being sung that said the South was fighting to keep the rich man in slaves?  The music says something.
