This Civil War Poster represents Charles Pauth. The war, a continuing preservation of our constitution, freedom, and liberty he fought for with honor and courage to preserve the Union. Along with thousands of fallen soldiers paying their final and ultimate sacrafice. A Union that is a blessed nation by God. Both a free and great nation for all of her citizens, the United States of America.
This typical Union Civil War Poster from New York reads:
RALLY, BOYS, FOR THE UNION
Goodwin's Battery of Breech-Loading
LIGHT ARTILLERY!
SOON TO TAKE THE FIELD!
LET THE REBELS TAKE WARNING!
NOW IS THE TIME TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY!
NO SKEDADDLERS WANTED! FALL IN BOYS!
The Union MUST and SHALL BE preserved!
The Rag of Treason must not longer defy us!
Young and Able-Bodied Men WHO are willing to Sustain our Goverment and Fight for the Soil and Liberty so dear to us all, can join this Battery, assured that New York will feel proud of us if we but do our duty as Soldiers. All the Bounties offered by City, State and Nation will be given for Recruits if soon filled up. Good Quarters and Camping Grounds provided. Fall in, Boys!
WM. F. GOODWIN, Commanding Battery.
Baker & Godwin Printer. Printing House Square, opposite City Hall, N.Y.

I'm a Union girl.  Elisha Hunt Rhodes is one of the loves of my life.  His diaries are excellent.
