This illustration and quotation were meant to serve as an endorsement of the undefeatable American spirit. The \"burying\" of the flag that occurred during secession is shown to result in the sprouting of an exponentially larger number of flags and bayonets, instead of destruction of the American spirit. This cartoon evokes the spirit of patriotism that came with Lincoln's call for troops and serves as a challenge and warning to those in the South who wished to undo the American experiment. With the subsequent fall of Memphis in 1862, it did indeed become a Union stronghold and supply base for the remainder of the war."},{"label":"Creator","value":["Unknown"]},{"label":"Alternate Title","value":"\"They buried the American Flag at Memphis, some days ago. Our correspondent writes us that on going to visit the grave the next day he found a hundred little Flags, like a crop of corn, fluttering in the wind where the old Flag lay. It had sprouted! From this, he concludes that it is useless to bury the Flag. It won't stay buried. It is the Flag of Freedom - and Freedom can't die. It is the Flag of Washington, and Putnam, and Green, and Jones, and Lawrence, and Jackson, and Harrison, and Taylor, and Anderson - and you can no more bury it, than you can bury them! Their bodies, indeed, you may lay in the ground, but the spirit that stirred them will never die. A thousand patriots will rise up in the place of each departed hero, and the land will bristle with the bayonets of its brave defenders.\""},{"label":"Date","value":"D:01 M:06 Y:1861"},{"label":"Date Original","value":"1861-06-01"},{"label":"Title","value":"A Singular Phenomenon"},{"label":"Reference URL","value":"http://cdm16274.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p4016coll2/id/1"}],"description":"A Singular Phenomenon","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/gettysburg/iiif/191140ce-0805-40fd-9fdd-6149904f3251/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"A Singular Phenomenon","height":593,"width":696,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/gettysburg/iiif/191140ce-0805-40fd-9fdd-6149904f3251/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/gettysburg/iiif/191140ce-0805-40fd-9fdd-6149904f3251","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2]}]},"height":593,"width":696},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/gettysburg/iiif/191140ce-0805-40fd-9fdd-6149904f3251/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/gettysburg/iiif/191140ce-0805-40fd-9fdd-6149904f3251/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/gettysburg/iiif/191140ce-0805-40fd-9fdd-6149904f3251/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/gettysburg/iiif/logo"}
