A GRAPHIC AND DETAILED PRO-LINCOLN BROADSIDE 12” x 19”. Published by theNational Union Executive Committee, Astor House, New York. Large detailed map displaying the regions of the south which the Confederates held at the beginning of the war with darkened areas showing the portions in which the Union had succeeded in regaining control by October 1, 1864. Lincoln’s policy of continuing the war was constantly criticized amidst calls for the cessation of hostilities. This attempt shows the pro-Lincoln forces at work in late 1864 as the Union was beginning to gain larger areas of control in the South. Nice broadside from this tumultuous period. Some foxing and a few edge chinks.
