## Image Caption

*To Arms! To Arms! 100 Men for the United States Army!*, military recruitment poster in Millersburg, Ohio, printed broadside (notice); proclamation by T. L. Hart, 01 February 1847.

This recruiting poster was part of a coordinated effort by the US Army to boost manpower in [Mexican-American War](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mexican-American_War/). The poster reflects nationalist pride and calls into question the loyalty of those who are against the conflict.
