* NeverTrustATitle: The Bower family being a band is barely relevant to the story. Mostly, it just provides an in-universe excuse for some of the musical numbers.

This was the last film for which Creator/WaltDisney himself played a major role in the development process. He lived long enough to approve the screenplay and the songs but died before production began.

The year is 1888, and UsefulNotes/GroverCleveland, the incumbent Democratic president, is running for re-election against Republican challenger UsefulNotes/BenjaminHarrison. The titular musical family, the Bowers, is politically divided, with Grandpa being a Democrat while his son Calvin is a Republican. Grandpa is outraged when Alice, Calvin's eldest daughter, starts dating Joe Carder, who runs a Republican newspaper. Joe persuades the family to join him out west in the Dakota Territory, and they do so. However, even Dakota is the subject of a partisan fight. It's expected that Dakotans will vote Republican, so the Republicans want to admit Dakota to the Union as two states, in order to give themselves more representation in Congress, whereas the Democrats would obviously prefer that it be one state. In a Dakotan town that is indeed overwhelmingly Republican, Grandpa's outspoken Democratic views get him into increasing trouble. Will everyone be able to come together as Americans despite their differing politics?

!!This film has the examples of:
* AnAesop: Don't let politics poison your relationships with good people who have different opinions.
* AssumedWin: The town initially thinks that Cleveland won re-election because he got the most votes, only to be interrupted with the news that Harrison won according to the Electoral College. You'd think they'd realize that might happen considering that's how UsefulNotes/RutherfordBHayes won just twelve years earlier. For its part, the movie treats this as a kind of TwistEnding. After all, the 1888 election was, as of 1968, the most recent election in which this occurred, and it was eighty years earlier. For viewers watching this in TheNewTwenties, it is, for better or for worse, a much more familiar phenomenon.
* BanOnPolitics: In-universe. Katie has a ban on discussing politics in the house, not that it does much good. Later on, Calvin convinces Grandpa to stop talking politics period since it's causing so much drama and mostly to the detriment of Alice.
* TheGildedAge: Set in 1888, against the backdrop of the presidential election that year.
* HollywoodCostuming: Alice's clothing may be decently Victorian, but her hair and makeup is straight out of ''Series/ThatGirl''.
* InsistentTerminology: Grandpa says that UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar ought to be known as the War Between the States. He fought in the war and insists [[WarIsHell there was nothing civil about it]].
* LongTitle: And to make it worse, there's no obvious way to shorten it to something catchier. How are you supposed to refer to this movie offhand?
* MalignedMixedMarriage: Grandpa, a Democrat, disapproves of Alice's relationship with Joe, a Republican.
* NoPartyGiven: Technically averted, but really a DoubleSubversion of sorts. Characters frequently talk about being Republican or Democrat, but the actual policy differences between the two parties are not discussed much at all. The only political issue of the time that gets discussed in any detail is whether Dakota should be one state or two, and in that case, both parties are taking a position based on electoral self-interest rather than ideology.
* PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher: Grandpa becomes one when he takes over a schoolhouse, much to the indignation of the Republican-dominated town.
* {{Schoolmarm}}: Alice is trying to get a job as one, which is not helped by Grandpa's political shenanigans.
* StillFightingTheCivilWar: Averted. Grandpa fought in the Civil War on the Confederate side, but he feels that the war is over now and that the country should move on. And given his Cleveland campaign song, he's even come around to admiring UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln.
* TheWildWest: When the family moves out west to the Dakota Territory.
