We are all Americans (allegiance) is a song written during World War I with music composed by Carrie Jacobs-Bond and lyrics written by Fanny Hodges Newman. It is found in the Library of Congress record of notable music.[1]
A similar song in feeling with the same title from 1914 by O. S. Grinnell was "dedicated to those unemployed as a result of the war."[2]
Jacobs-Bond's song was one of more than 4,500 patriotic songs written in 1918 and the second song of that name composed in Chicago that year.[3] "We are all Americans (Allegiance)" is composed of three verses, was originally written for a voice and piano format, and is addressed to "Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson".[1]
