EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Epitaph on the United States Of America, c. 1861" captures a significant historical document from the 19th century American Civil War era. This lithograph, created by an anonymous American School artist, is part of the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. The image showcases a Confederate Broadside published by Evans & Cogswell during that time period. The broadside serves as a commentary on various aspects of the Union, Freedom, Equality, and lists numerous arguments for secession. One striking quote reads: "Here lie the mutilated and disjointed remains of the noblest form of Government". One particular focus of this piece is its criticism towards a government consisting of black men as being detrimental to social ties between races not intended to coexist according to divine providence. This photograph print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into an important chapter in American history. It provides insight into the mindset and beliefs prevalent during this tumultuous period when states were divided over issues such as slavery and state sovereignty. As we examine this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how far our nation has come since those divisive times while also highlighting ongoing struggles for equality that persist even today. The significance lies not only in understanding past events but also in reflecting upon their impact on our present society.
