Framed American History Posters

The 19th century was a period of important transformations and it all culminated with the Civil War that led to abolition of slavery. Abraham Lincoln restored the Union and set a new foundation for American society, which explains why he frequently appears in framed American history posters. The bloody years of the American Civil War drained the nation but also spurred the Reconstruction era with freed slaves receiving voting rights. A new national government was set in place, stronger than ever before and the sweeping changes turned the United States in one of the leading industrial powers.

The 20th century was marked by the two world wars and the United States got involved in both of them after an initial period of neutrality. Some of the bloody battles are depicted in powerful framed American history posters, highlighting the heroism of the soldiers who fought in both wars. After the defeat of Nazi Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union got involved in the Cold War which only ended in 1991 when the communist state was dissolved.
