  Neat piece anyway. Any idea of the period? The language used is quite nteresting. Wonder if it is from the reconstruction. Can't go by the stars on the flags as they are obviously not accurate representations.

  Picked this up from a retired collector in New York.

  “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."
