EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Message to the People of Maryland to support the Confederacy" provides a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. Created by an anonymous 19th-century American artist, this print measures 12.8x18.2 cm and is part of the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. The image depicts a powerful message addressed to the people of Maryland during the tumultuous times of September 8th, 1862. The lithograph urges Marylanders to join forces with the Confederacy and support their cause against what they perceive as foreign oppression. Written just one week before the Battle of Antietam, this proclamation emanates from General Robert E. Lee's headquarters near Frederick Town. It expresses solidarity with Maryland citizens who have suffered under perceived wrongs and outrages inflicted upon them by external forces. The lithograph emphasizes that Confederate troops have arrived in Maryland and stand ready to assist in throwing off what they consider a foreign yoke. Their aim is to restore independence, sovereignty, and protect the inalienable rights of free men within their state. This historical artifact serves as both a testament to the power of propaganda during times of war and an important reminder of how deeply divided our nation once was. It offers us insight into the mindset and motivations behind those who fought for different causes during this critical period in American history.
