Alexandria, Virginia: The Marshall House (U.S. Civil War) T-Shirt - Design Description
Visual Representation
The design of this t-shirt focuses on the historic Marshall House, a pivotal site during the early days of the American Civil War.

The presence of the flag is a visual representation of the conflict and the cause for which the war was fought.
The design may incorporate text elements, such as the name "Marshall House" and potentially dates or short descriptions related to the incident and the historical significance of the building. These textual elements work together with the primary imagery to firmly establish the historical context of the design.
The design overall aims to represent the dramatic events that unfolded at the Marshall House, capturing the essence of the building's role in the war's opening.
