EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Texas Secession Ordinance of January 8th, 1861. The image showcases an authentic document that marked the separation of Texas from the United States. Created by the American School in the 19th century, this print is now preserved by the Dallas Historical Society in Texas, USA. The secession ordinance was approved by an overwhelming majority of Texan voters, with seventy-six percent supporting independence. This decision came twenty-five years after Texas had proclaimed its own independence from Mexico. The document itself is addressed "To Our Fellow Citizens of the State of Texas" signifying both unity and determination among Texans during this pivotal time. This photograph offers a glimpse into a crucial chapter in Southern states' history as they sought to assert their independence through conventions and newspaper articles. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted notions of state sovereignty were during this era. The significance and historical value attached to this print make it an invaluable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in understanding America's complex past. Preserved by eDallas Historical Society and made available through Bridgeman Images, this image invites us to reflect on one state's bold decision to secede from a nation while shedding light on broader themes such as autonomy, identity formation, and political divisions within America's rich tapestry.
