American artists and soldiers alike responded to the Civil War and its aftermath by producing a large body landscapes and genre scenes in drawings and prints that captured the war's impact on the American psyche. The rise of popular periodicals like Harper’s Weekly published engravings by some of America’s most famous artists like Winslow Homer.
Americans in both the North and South used art to gain news about individuals and events. They used the prints, paintings, photographs made during and after the war to remember and understand the most deadly conflict in American history. Civil War art traces the trajectory of the conflict and express the intense emotions that it provoked: unease as war became inevitable, optimism that a single battle might end the struggle, growing realization that fighting would be prolonged and bloody. Enthusiasm and worries alike surrounded emancipation and the concerns about how to reunify the nation after a period of grievous division.
The American was an event of great interest in Europe, especially in England. Prints and maps depicting the Civil War battles were much sought after.
This item is titled A General map of the United States, showing the area and extent of the free & slave-holding states, and the territories of the Union and includes list of "Population in 1856" for free and slave states.
