my country tis of thee was written in 1831.
when did my country tis of thee written?
1831
after centuries of struggling and fighting "hostile" indians, diseases, and nature, americans had breached the appalachian mountain chain and pushed into the wide open areas of the far west. thus, songs such as "my country, 'tis of thee," composed in 1831, have as themes natural wonder combined with freedom and liberty. indeed, others, such as "america the beautiful," express appreciation for the natural beauty of the united states and the hope for a better nation, wrote one hymn editor. however, in contrast to "my country, 'tis of thee" and the "star spangled banner", the "america the beautiful" does not have the triumphalism found in many patriotic american songs. it was originally a poem composed by katharine lee bates after she had experienced the view from pikes peak of fertile ground as far as the eye could see, and was sung to a variety of tunes until the present one, written as a hymn tune in 1882 by samuel ward, became associated with it.
