He admired President Abraham Lincoln and was particularly proud of having voted for him four times, as a citizen and as an elector in 1860 and 1864. Whittier wrote many patriotic poems during the war, of which Barbara Frietchie is the most famous. In War Time and Other Poems, published in 1864, included several fine examples of Whittiers public poetryThy Will Be Done and Ein Feste Berg , for examplein addition to several more home ballads, including Cobbler Keezars Vision, Amy Wentworth, and The Countess. This volume was republished in 1865 under the title National Lyrics and included Laus Deo, in which Whittier joyously recorded the death knell of slavery, the moment for which so much of his career had been a preparation.
