What are some songs with historical meaning?

What are a couple songs that have historical meaning or have to do with an event/period in American history?

  • I basically have to do a project analyzing two songs that "have played a role in the public understanding of an issue that had social and political implications". Any ideas? I already have AllenTown by Billy Joel (teacher assigned), but I'm not a big listener of music older than 5 years, so I'm kinda clueless :/

  • Answer:

    How about the Star Spangled Banner? It's about the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. http://www.usa-flag-site.org/song-lyrics/star-spangled-banner.shtml
