A must for the wall of any teacher, history buff, or lover of America! This spectacular poster gives you one of the most famous images in the history of the country - the Major & Knapp Lithography Company's 1867 print, "The Room in the McLean House, at Appomattox C.H., in which Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant" - which hangs in the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC. Below the legendary image is a pictorial timeline of America's painful North-South trial, starting with the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, through Fort Sumter, Bull Run, Antietam, Fredricksburg, the Emancipation Proclamation, the USS St. Louis, the Battle of Atlanta, the Battle of Richmond, the surrender, the Assassination of Lincoln, to the final surrender of the Confederate Army. A rare educational and artistic classic, perfect for the wall of classroom, office, or home!
