EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the announcement of South Carolina's secession from the Union on December 20th, 1860. Published in a special edition of the Charleston Mercury newspaper, this lithograph serves as a powerful visual reminder of the deep divisions that plagued the nation during the American Civil War. The image showcases a broadside, boldly declaring South Carolina's decision to dissolve its ties with the Union. The typography is meticulously crafted, emphasizing both the significance and gravity of this historic event. As one examines this piece closely, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an announcement; it symbolizes an entire region's determination to forge its own path. The dissolution depicted here marked a turning point for not only South Carolina but also for other southern states who would soon follow suit. It highlights how issues surrounding slavery and state rights ultimately led to America's division. Through this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the tension and turmoil that engulfed North America during this era. It serves as a poignant reminder of our country's complex past and reminds us of how far we have come since those divisive days. This print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while appreciating both its artistic beauty and historical significance.
