Resting on the nearly empty stage is some debris as well as a pistol and a sword. In presenting the bill for the night's performance Lincoln states that he is sad to regret that the \"Tragedy, entitled Army of the Potomac\" has been removed because of quarrels between its leading performers and is being replaced by three \"Farces or Burlesques\", The Repulse at Vicksburg, The Loss of the Harriet Lane, and The Exploits of the Alabama. Published at the end of January 1863, the Union had just experienced a chain of disappointing defeats. The Army of the Potomac had been thoroughly beaten at Fredericksburg during a chain of questionable frontal assaults that could aptly be named a \"tragedy\". The categorization of the three new acts as \"farces of burlesques\" presents them as extravagant and improbable events. In actuality the initial attempts to advance on Vicksburg had indeed been repulsed, while the Revenue Cutter USRC Harriet Lane was captured at Galveston, Texas around the same time that the Confederate raider CSS Alabama was partaking in a successful expedition on the Gulf Coast. The presentation of these disappointments by the \"Manager Lincoln\", who appears unkempt and dull, serves as a commentary on the leadership of the war by Lincoln and the several defeats and failures coming right around the New Year. The \"unbounded applause by the Copperheads\" expresses the sentiments of the politicians in opposition to the war who saw these losses as a referendum on ending the war and vying for peace."},{"label":"Creator","value":["Unknown"]},{"label":"Alternate Title","value":"\"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to say that the Tragedy, entitled The Army of the Potamac, has been withdrawn on account of Quarrels among the leading Performers, and I have substituted three new and striking Farces or Burlesques, one, entitled The Repulse at Vicksburg, by the well-known, popular favorite, E.
