Spurred in part by the Great Irish Famine of 1847, the US experienced a massive wave of immigration from Ireland in the decades preceding the Civil War. Enlistment posters often featured the symbols of the eagle and the harp to draw a connection between the new and old countries. The 3rd Regiment of the Irish Brigade, composed mainly of Irish immigrants, played a significant role in the Civil War (1861–1865). Serving in the Union Army, they fought in major battles such as Antietam and Fredericksburg. Renowned for their courage, the regiment suffered heavy casualties. Their commitment reflected the Irish-American community's dedication to the Union cause and their desire for recognition in a land where they sought acceptance and opportunities for themselves and future generations. General Michael Corcoran, an Irish immigrant, led the 69th New York State Militia during the American Civil War, earning respect for his leadership and valor in battle. Meticulously remastered, this print is guaranteed to enliven any room or space.
