A Singing America! They seem to be a little quiet as of late...

I must say, I really, really like this poem.
It's a shame, either i've gone deaf, or i dont hear America singing anymore really; if they are, it is barely audible over all the bombs and gunshots going off from all the war we got on our plate. I thought the "sound" of America was a string of crazy discordant loud noises (from the war) playing out. Turns out, if you turn down that war noise, you can begin to focus on other noises, i.e the singing of the few people who are trying to keep the tunes of America alive.

I Hear America Singing  is a poem by Walt Whitman written in 1860; a time when all jobs, were important jobs. The poem is bout the many different jobs of the American People going out into the world everyday to do some intense hard laboring. He speaks of how as all these people do their jobs, he can hear them singing accordingly to their job.
what does is all mean?

It's good old fashion America Pride.

Welcome to America 1860,
where we get things done!

Everyone at this time had a purpose with the work they do & anyone who was at work was more than proud of what they were doing. Because they were all driving America forward.


Not sure what the entire blog as a whole says, but my main point is in America during 1860, everyone was proud of their work, because they were all working with a purpose, to make America better.
