1) Hand-colored 1864 steel engraving based on the painting by Thomas Nast (1840-1902; famed as the “Father of the American Cartoon”) depicting the assault on Battery Wagner
2) A less common view shows the scene from the #Confederate perspective, Illustrated London News of September 26, 1863

House #Republicans dive back into #Confederate name fight https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/06-23-2023/house-gop-confederate-name-fight/ Makes sense. The #GOP likes dictators & won’t support gun laws that save lives, why not support naming things honoring the losing side in the war that killed more Americans than any other. Never vote for any Republican. #gop #guns #masskilling
