A girl in a bonnet holds a flag inscribed with the slogan "Liberty and Union, Now and Forever," a line taken from Daniel Webster's 1830 reply to Robert Hayne in the Senate debate over nullification. That phrase became a rallying cry for those who defended the federal Union, and it reappeared on banners, sheet music and carte de visite portraits during the Civil War, when keeping the nation whole was the central question. Images like this one were often posed in studios, so the child's pose and the flag were meant to signal loyalty and national pride as much as to record a particular family.
