EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "CONGRESS: SECESSION, 1861" captures a significant moment in American history. Depicting the seceding Mississippi delegation in Congress, this engraving from Harpers Weekly on February 2nd, 1861, offers a glimpse into the tension and division that plagued the nation during this time. In this powerful portrait, we see a group of determined men who have made the difficult decision to break away from the Union. Their faces reflect both determination and uncertainty as they stand together for their beliefs. Among them are notable figures such as Albert Brown, Lucius Lamar, John Singleton McRae, Reuben Davis, and William Barksdale. Their presence in Congress symbolizes not only their commitment to secession but also represents the broader sentiment of many Southern states at that time. Led by President Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States of America, these delegates played an instrumental role in shaping history. This print serves as a reminder of how deeply divided our nation once was and highlights the complex issues surrounding secession during this tumultuous period. It is a testament to both individual conviction and collective action that forever altered the course of American politics. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical artifact with great care so that future generations can appreciate its significance and learn from our past struggles.
