Baltimore & the Fifteenth Amendment, May 19, 1870
An Interactive Historical Investigation by David Troy © 1996
| THE PASSING
of the 15th Amendment was celebrated across the nation, but the largest
celebration was in Baltimore. Three companies made at least four
different lithographs depicting the parade in Baltimore. Toys, such as
the bellringer featured here, were probably sold during or shortly
after the parade to commemorate the event.
