- Lot Description
Printed broadside, 22.5 x 27.5 in., produced by Colonel R.D. Mussey and Captain J.F. Rusling in 1864. The broadside announces to Loyal Men and Women of the Loyal States the proceedings of a meeting held on September 24, 1864 in the Capitol of Tennessee. A portion reads, Brothers and sisters we spurn the proffered "sympathy" of traitors who have never voted a man or dollar towards putting down this rebellion...we beg you, forgetting all political prejudices, and seeing only your country, to elect Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. The broadside also requests for more volunteers in the army.
Tennessee was the only Confederate state that came entirely under Union control before the Civil War ended. Occupation began in 1862 and the Union completed it by 1864. Federal authorities initially used lenient occupation policies to win over secessionist citizens in Middle and West Tennessee and circulated broadsides similar to the one in the lot. When hostilities failed to subside, they employed harsher punishments and either imprisoned or banished many who refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Union.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Four horizontal and two vertical folds, toning of the paper and some creases. Some of the folds are very fragile and there is a tear in the center fold portion.Condition
