Songs about America?

Not sure why this one is so difficult to find.... but I'm looking for musical theatre songs about America, USA, freedom....

I have the obvious "America" from West Side Story, "American Idiot" from American Idiot, "Run Freedom Run" Urinetown, "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime....

Songs that come up are from places IN the USA but not about, like "Good Morning, Baltimore," which isn't what I'm looking for.

I know there's more--anything else off the top of your head? Lesser known songs and titles welcome, and something more upbeat is preferable.


Thank you!

Lady's Maid from Titanic.

Dolly's Levi's said: "Freedom from Shenandoah

If you don't mind sarcasm, American Dream from Miss Saigon is a good option.

Battle of Yorktown from Hamilton.

Funny you should ask! I made a playlist about 2 years ago for the 4th of July...it's a mix of optimistic songs and the sarcastic, like "America." Obviously it's missing Hamilton since it's from 2014, though.

I'm sure there's some stuff from RAGS.
