Best Answer

In the United States, many date from, or antedate the Civil War. ( Dixie) When Johnny comes marching home...) Some like Yankee Doodle- from the revolution. Oddly few serious patriotic songs from the Revolutionary period survive- it is known that ( Follow the Liberty Tree) from the movie Johnny Tremain was made-up for the occasion, though a Liberty Tree did exist.
