1862 25th 28th Attack Federals Fort Forts Held Jackson Mutiny Orleans Surrendered
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the aftermath of the pivotal Battle of New Orleans, which took place from April 24 to 28, 1862, during the American Civil War. The city of New Orleans, a major strategic prize, had been under siege by the Union Army, led by General Benjamin Butler. The forts defending the city, Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip, held out against the relentless attack for several days, but on the 25th, a mutiny broke out in Fort Jackson, weakening its defenses. Despite the mutiny, the forts continued to resist, and it was not until the 28th that the Confederate forces, led by General P.G.T. Beauregard, were forced to surrender. The city of New Orleans, which had been expected to fall to the Union forces, was spared the destruction that had befallen other cities during the war. This historical print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, vividly depicts the aftermath of the battle, with the red flags of the Confederacy flying over the forts as they surrendered. The scene is a testament to the tenacity and resilience of the Confederate forces, who held out against the Union attack for several days, despite the odds being stacked against them. The Battle of New Orleans was a significant turning point in the Civil War, as it prevented the Union Army from gaining control of the Mississippi River and securing a strategic foothold in the South. This print is an important reminder of the rich history and complex events that shaped the course of the Civil War and American history as a whole.
