Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR] -- [POLITICS]. How The War Commenced And How Near It Is Ended. National Union Executive Committee, Astor House, 1864.

12 1/4 x 18 3/4 in. printed broadside (possibly trimmed, very minor toning); framed to 19 1/4 x 25 1/4 in. (not examined out of frame). 

A pro-War broadside published during the 1864 election by the National Union Executive Committee. The National Union Party was a temporary name used by the Republican party to unite elements of other parties for a national ticket in the 1864 election, in part, a tactic to attract War Democrats, voters in border states, and members of Unionist parties. 

With a map showing the Southern and border states with areas shaded to indicate areas under Union control and those still controlled by the Confederacy. Two columns of text detail the Union's progress in the war and argue that they are close to ending the war. Closing: "They who took the sword are perishing by the sword." 

Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
