Hail to the Chief

Description

Every four years an American president is inaugurated. At these occasions, new presidents are introduced to the song “Hail to the Chief” for the first-time. President Abraham Lincoln heard that song for the final time at Ford’s Theatre on the night of April 14, 1865. This video presents a history of the patriotic song that is so closely associated with America’s presidents.
