The National Prayer for "Humiliation Day," Baltimore, September 26, 1861:
Baltimore was subjected to martial law and occupation by Northern troops in 1861. Citizens of the city, both pro-Union and pro-Confederacy, used broadsides as a means to rally support for their causes. This satirical broadside calls out, by name, the public figures, organizations, and situations that frustrated and worried many Southern sympathizers during the early days of the War. |
