EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Ordinance of Secession for the state of South Carolina, 1861". The lithographic copy, created by the American School in the 18th century, measures 81.2x68.2 cm and is part of the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York, USA. The print features an exact replica of the original manuscript ordinance, complete with reproduced signatures from those who voted for its enactment. Printed by Evans and Cogswell as per the South Carolina assembly's act, this document signifies an ordinance to dissolve the Union between South Carolina and other states united under The Constitution of the United States of America. Although dated in 1860 but printed a year later in 1861, this precise copy played a significant role during Sherman's march through South Carolina four years later. Its authenticity was so convincing that it managed to deceive many Union soldiers at that time. It is worth noting that this particular copy had been previously shellacked and cut. Nevertheless, it remains a valuable historical artifact shedding light on one of America's most tumultuous periods –the American Civil War. Displayed as a poster or broadside mounted on c19th sheet paper, this engraving provides us with a glimpse into history—a reminder of how documents like these shaped our nation's past. With Charleston serving as its backdrop, this image captures both the significance and complexity surrounding secession during that era.
