The Blue and the Gray
Counted Cross Stitch Kit

Whether they wore blue or gray, the soldiers of the Civil War were fighting for deeply-held principles. For Northern troops, the main motivation was preserving the Union. For Southerners, the cause was Southern independence. In some cases, family members found themselves on opposite sides fighting against each other. They were all Americans, however, and, when the war ended, mutual respect produced a remarkable reconciliation. This counted cross stitch kit is based on the Mort Künstler painting of The Blue and the Gray.
