Name a better war song than "Marching through Georgia", I'll wait.

"Marching through Georgia" is a good song, but it's annoying that it was co-opted by redditors. Shermanposter redditors ruined online civil war discourse.

To the thread topic, if we are talking specifically Civil War songs, I always felt like the Confederates generally had better music, "Bonnie Blue Flag" and "Southern Soldier" are both good marching songs. "Dixie" is very catchy, but that wasn't strictly a war song, For the Union, the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is pretty good, I have thought for awhile that it would make a better American anthem than the Star-Spangled Banner.

If we are talking war songs in general, the Prussian battle marches are S-tier, and British songs like "Men of Harlech" or "The British Grenadiers" are good too.
 
Marching through Georgia is really not that good.
Here's a top of my head list of better military songs

French: Le volontaire, La Marseillaise; not even a military song but les miserables: encore finale is still better.
German: Teufelslied, Volk ans Gewehr
Jewish: Hayalim Almonim
Russia: Farewell of Slavianka
Italian: Giovinezza (1943 Social Republic edition), Fiamma Nere
American: Battle cry of freedom (both northern and southern versions),
Arab: Any baathist anthem, Syrian army of christ
