The Union Volunteer - A Symbol of Patriotism and Defiance during the American Civil War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Union Volunteer" captures the essence of patriotism and determination that defined the American Civil War. Published by Currier & Ives in 1861, this color lithograph showcases an iconic image from that tumultuous era. In the foreground stands a resolute soldier, adorned in his military uniform, holding a sword firmly in hand. His gaze is fixed on a Confederate flag lying beneath his feet, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to preserving the Union. The powerful message inscribed below reads: "O'er Sumter's walls our flag again we'll wave; And give to traitors all a bloody grave. Our Union and our laws maintain we must; And treason's banner trample in the dust". This artwork references the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861, which marked one of the early confrontations between Northern and Southern forces. It serves as both government propaganda and a rallying cry for those who supported the Federal Army. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by American School artists from the 19th century, it reminds us of how deeply divided America was at that time. This print represents not only a call to arms but also an embodiment of unity against secessionist sentiments. Today, this image serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience during one of America's darkest periods. It stands as an enduring testament to those who fought bravely
