Like most working attire, her dress is made of cotton calico, which was a popular fabric for work clothing. It was lightweight, easy to clean, and available in every color under the sun. But what truly makes this dress a work dress is the lack of the ever-popular hooped crinoline and the addition of a work apron. Mrs. Johnson also wears skirt lifters that raise the hemline of her dress to keep them clean while doing the day’s labors. So is it the workday ahead that induced her grim visage or is it perhaps misbehaving soldiers, mischievous children, or even wayward farm animals?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1\/30 scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatte Finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Piece Set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"W.

He had escaped from slavery in Maryland in September 1838, disguised as a sailor, traveling on a free Black seaman's protection paper borrowed from a friend. He had taught himself to read in secret as a child. By 1841 he was lecturing for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. By 1845 he was the author of a bestselling autobiography that made him internationally famous. By 1847 he was publishing his own anti-slavery newspaper, the North Star, in Rochester, New York. Through the secession winter of 1860 and the first year of war, Douglass pushed Lincoln publicly and privately to do two things: free the enslaved, and arm them. On both points he eventually got what he asked for. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863. The recruitment of Black soldiers into the United States Army began a few weeks later. Douglass became one of the principal recruiters for the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the first Northern Black regiment, and he put his own two sons into its ranks — Lewis as Sergeant Major, Charles as a private. He met with Lincoln three times at the White House: in August 1863 to protest unequal pay and treatment of Black troops, in August 1864 to discuss helping Southern slaves escape if Lincoln lost the November election, and at the second Inauguration reception in March 1865 — where Lincoln spotted him in the receiving line and called out across the room, \"Here comes my friend Douglass.\" Lincoln was assassinated six weeks later. Douglass lived until 1895 and never stopped working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe W. Britain figure depicts Douglass in the civilian dress of his later years — black frock coat, dark vest with the watch chain, dark trousers, white shirt and black cravat, and the walking cane he carried after the 1860s. The iconic mane of gray-white hair is the visual signature; by his sixties Douglass had become one of the most recognizable men in America. He worked for the federal government in the postwar decades — United States Marshal for the District of Columbia from 1877 to 1881, Recorder of Deeds for Washington from 1881 to 1886, U.S. Minister to Haiti from 1889 to 1891 — but his core occupation never changed. He spoke, he wrote, he lectured, he organized. The figure is catalogued in the Civil War range because his political work was inseparable from the war's outcome, but it works equally well as a standalone civilian figure in any U.S. history display, from antebellum abolition through Reconstruction.

Weed, and the Sentinel — pushed up the Combahee River from Beaufort, South Carolina, into Confederate territory. The raid had been planned by Harriet Tubman. Born into slavery in Maryland around 1822, escaped from it in 1849, the conductor on the Underground Railroad who had returned south thirteen times to lead approximately seventy enslaved people to freedom in the North without losing a single passenger, Tubman had been working since 1862 for the Union Department of the South as a nurse, a cook, and — more importantly — as a scout and spy. She had recruited a network of Black informants on the South Carolina coast and had personally reconnoitered the Confederate positions along the Combahee. The raid she planned hit Confederate supply depots and bridges along the river, destroyed rice plantations belonging to wealthy secessionists, and — most consequentially — picked up enslaved people who had been told by Tubman's scouts that the Union gunboats were coming. By dawn on June 2, over seven hundred and fifty enslaved men, women, and children had crowded onto the Union boats and were sailing back to Beaufort and freedom. It was the first armed military raid in American history planned and led by a woman, and it remains the largest single liberation event the Civil War produced. Tubman continued working for the Union Army through 1864, lived in Auburn, New York after the war, became an early women's suffrage advocate, and died in 1913. She was buried with military honors at Fort Hill Cemetery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe W. Britain figure depicts Tubman in the working civilian dress she wore through most of her adult life — dark blue gathered dress, cream-colored apron, knitted shawl, and the red head wrap that became visually associated with her in nineteenth-century engravings. The wicker basket on her arm is the practical detail — Tubman moved through Maryland, Delaware, Philadelphia, and the Sea Islands of South Carolina in clothing that drew no attention, carrying baskets that could legitimately hold food or laundry or messages. She was small (about five feet tall), unobtrusive, and quietly armed when she needed to be — she carried a pistol on her Underground Railroad trips, in part to discourage frightened passengers from turning back. The figure is catalogued as civilian rather than military, but her Civil War service was as real as any uniformed soldier's; the U.S. government did not officially recognize her military pension until 1899, three decades after the war and fourteen years before her death.
