No. The song appeared during the Civil War (1861-1865) and its subject was the deceased Virginia abolitionist John Brown, who was executed on December 2, 1859 after an abortive attempt to start a slave rebellion.
Several music publishers claimed ownership of the song, but it was apparently started among Union soldiers of the Massachusetts militia, sung to the same tune as the Battle Hymn of the Republic (originally a spiritual called Say Brothers, Will You Meet Us or Canaan's Happy Shore).
