11-Star “Stars and Bars” Confederate States of America Flag.
1861. Rare Civil War era Confederate States of America Flag in use between July 2 and November 28 1861 commemorating the admittance of Tennessee and North Carolina into the Confederacy. Cotton hand-sewn and double-sided. The entire piece measures 36 inches by 50.5 inches. In near fine condition. The Confederacy's first official national flag often called the Stars and Bars flew from March 4 1861 to May 1 1863. It was designed by Prussian-American artist Nicola Marschall in Marion Alabama and is said to resemble the Flag of Austria with which Marschall would have been familiar. The original version of the flag featured a circle of seven white stars in the navy blue canton representing the seven states of the South that originally composed the Confederacy: South Carolina Mississippi Florida Alabama Georgia Louisiana and Texas. As the Confederacy grew so did the numbers of stars: two were added for Virginia and Arkansas in May 1861 followed by two more representing Tennessee and North Carolina in July and finally two more for Missouri and Kentucky neither of these two states seceded but partisan factional "governments" declared secession without achieving control of substantial territory or population in either case. "While Civil War flags escaped much of the mortal rigidity of mechanical mass production their artistic merit was more particularly due to the delicate design relationship of the elements and to numerous subtle details - such as the directions of the arms of the stars which we never entirely regimented as they are on modern flags. And truly no modern replica can either do justice to the artistic character or render the ‘patina’ of one of these antique flags†Mastai & Mastai 124. unknown

1870 Cuban Slave Trade Manuscript Advertisements and Announcements about Cubans Seeking Slaves Returning Slaves and Much More

In this case the ads list 41 specific needs for slaves as requested by Cuban owners. This document contains three pages of listings mostly describing the need for slaves to purchase or rent though there are some variations within the listings. There are multiple listings for Cubans seeking "emancipated slave s to rent" one looking for a specific named black female negra someone returning a slave from the island of Dominica a listing about multiple negros being consigned to a College a notice about sending a Black man pardo to jail a notice of 15 slaves being available for rental and much more. This document is remarkable in its depth of information about the slave trade is it in the 1870s which was running consecutively with the Chinese coolie trade. This ad was likely posted in a Town Hall or similar. Cuba had a great need for inexpensive labour to support their sugar industry. While America and Britain signed a treaty in 1814 to abolish the African slave trade it took many years for complete global abolition. The African slave trade was not ended in Cuba until 1886 despite it being formally abolished in 1867 Yun & Laremont 2001. During the Chinese coolie trade 1847-1874 African slaves often worked alongside Chinese indentured labourers. Measures approx 12x8.5 inches.
