Presidential Songs: George Washington

To Americans of his time, George Washington embodied the American Revolution. He led the nation to victory over the British in the Revolutionary War and his mere presence was all that held the country together during the 1780s and 1790s. No song captured the revolutionary spirit like "Yankee Doodle". It became the anthem for the revolutionary generation. If campaign songs were en vogue in 1789, then Washington might have used "Yankee Doodle".
