"America the Beautiful" is a patriotic song written as a poem by Katharine Lee Bates and published in 1893 in The Congregationalist. Unlike our National Anthem "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", "America the Beautiful" has no official recognition. Its lack of legal status and its use at official state functions fascinate liberals and liberal observers. For example, the Chinese performed it during Richard Nixon's visit in 1972.
