2459 c Image3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26). Tied by 10-bar grid cancel, "Dandridge Ten. May 31" (1861) circular datestamp on red and blue 8-Star Waving Flag Patriotic with large Liberty Cap on Flagstaff (F8-7) on cover to Osceola Ark., unusual offset of red printing on back

VERY FINE. A PHENOMENAL USE OF A RARE CONFEDERATE 8-STAR PATRIOTIC COVER WITH CAP ON THE FLAG POLE, USED FROM UNION TENNESSEE ON THE LAST DAY OF MAIL SERVICE BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH.

To fully appreciate this remarkable cover, there are several dates one must keep in mind. On May 6, 1861, the Tennessee assembly voted to secede, subject to confirmation by a popular vote. The popular vote took place June 8, 1861, which ratified their ordinance of succession. Tennessee joined the Confederacy on July 2, but was still technically a part of the Union until the June 8 referendum.

Arkansas seceded from the Union on May 6, 1861, and was admitted to the Confederacy on May 18. After May 31 postal relations between North and South were severed as the Southern states took over their own postal responsibilities. This use of a Confederate Patriotic from what was technically still Union Tennessee to Confederate Arkansas, postmarked on the last day of postal service, is truly remarkable.
