The magazine published the poem in eighteen sixty-two. The poem became very popular. It had just the right words for the great marching music. The soldiers of the Union Army began to sing the words Julia Ward Howe had written. It soon became their official marching song -- "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Julia Ward Howe became famous. She was invited to the White House to meet President Abraham Lincoln. After dinner at the White House, the guests talked about the Civil War. They were sad. The Union army had suffered many defeats. Then someone began to sing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Missus Howe and President Lincoln joined in the singing. There were tears in the President's eyes. Here is the last part of the song, sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir:一本美国杂志“大西洋月刊”，用了4美元买了Howe夫人的诗。在1862年发布了这首诗。随即这首诗便流行起来。这是一首实实在在描述了行军的词。士兵们开始广泛唱起Julia Ward Howe 作的词。这很快变成了一首正式的行军歌——《共和国战歌》。
Julia Ward Howe 出名了。她被邀请到白宫会见克林顿总统。晚饭过后，宾客们讨论起内战。每个人都对联盟军受到的打击而感到悲伤。接着有人唱起了《共和国战歌》，Howe夫人和克林顿总统也一起唱了起来。总统的眼眶泛着泪花。这是歌曲最后的一部分，由Mormon Tabernacle Choir演唱：
