I'm hoping the song and the print by Haines are unrelated. Since a few of you have asked about the print... well... I can tell you where my grandfather bought his. He paid $3 (which was a lot in those days) and he bought it at a rally of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (note the burning cross in the sky). His was likely a first issue (around 1926), and the note on the back was very different (mentioned defending our freedoms from threats both foreign and domestic). Left little doubt as to the association with the KKK Sounds like the KKK may have had their own version. I can't really see a fiery cross in this vesion: Hope of a nation Cheers Nigel
