6th Massachusetts Bivouacked In Monument Sq., Baltimore (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

The image depicted in this title represents a scene from the U.S. Civil War, specifically the 6th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment bivouacking, or temporarily encamping, in Monument Square, Baltimore. This event occurred during the course of the war, which took place between April 12, 1861, and May 9, 1865, and was fought between the Northern states (the Union) and the Southern states that seceded from the United States (the Confederacy). The 6th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was one of many military units mobilized by the Union during this period. Monument Square in Baltimore has historical significance due to its proximity to Fort McHenry, a prominent site during the War of 1812 and later commemorated with a national monument.
