The Fort Sumter Poem Long Sleeve | Anachronism Series | Chinese Art

A Cross-Cultural Statement for the Changing Seasons.

This comfortable longsleeve tee is the perfect layer for fall and a fantastic conversation starter. The design features an original 33-character Classical Chinese poem detailing the core principles of the Union and Abolitionist cause during the Civil War. Each character is arranged to perfectly match the 33-star pattern from the historic Fort Sumter garrison flag, making the layout as meaningful as the text. It's a beautiful and thought-provoking piece of cross-cultural art that you can wear.

Below is a poetic rendering of the poem's meaning, with each line corresponding to a column in the poem (from right to left):

Traitors gnawed at the nation's root,
Their only sentence: death.
Let there be no North or South,
But long live the Republic's liberty!
Strike down the masters, and free the slaves.
This is a nation with no king.
Wide Awakes ('an awakened people') can never be broken.
