Ft. Sumter artist statement-Sofia and Kaia

This piece is an assignment about the Civil War. This particular one is about the first shots of the Civil War at Ft. Sumter. The two flags of the Union and the Confederates represent the conflict of the two opposing sides. The picture of South Carolina represents the fact that Ft. Sumter is in South Carolina. President Lincoln was a big part in the civil war so he’s in there too. If the Civil War didn’t happen we would still be a divided nation and we might still have slavery. This quilt piece just shows some important symbols of Ft. Sumter and the Civil War.
