National Union League Pin
SOLD
This National Union League pin was excavated in Fairfax County, VA. Constructed of what appears to be brass, the face still has significant amounts of the red, white, and blue enamel coloring in place. The rear has parts of the attachment device remaining. It measures approximately 3/4 inch and has no cracks or repairs. The Union League of America (or Loyal League) was the first African American Radical Republican organization in the southern United States. The League was created in the North during the American Civil War as a patriotic club to support the Union. It was officially established in May 1863 when a common constitution was adopted. By late 1863 the League claimed over 700,000 members in 4,554 councils across the nation. For more information click on this Union League link. This rare pin will be an excellent addition to any excavated African American or general Civil War relic collection.
