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]
