1st Mississippi Infantry (African Descent) - Tribute Tee — Battle of Milliken's Bend (June 7, 1863) - "From Bondage to Battle"

From Bondage to Battle — Worn with Purpose

On June 7, 1863, at the Battle of Milliken's Bend, formerly enslaved men of the 1st Mississippi Infantry (African Descent) took up arms and fought with a ferocity that stunned Confederate forces and changed the calculus of the Civil War. This tribute tee exists to carry that moment forward — edge to edge, thread by thread.

The all-over cut-and-sew construction means the design runs uninterrupted across the entire garment. No borders. No compromise. The imagery breathes the way the history demands — fully present, impossible to ignore.

Built to Last, Made to Be Seen

Pull it on and you'll feel the difference immediately. The fabric sits slightly structured yet breathable — the kind of shirt that holds its shape through repeated wear and wash without losing the sharpness of the graphic. Whether you're at a community commemoration, a history talk, a reenactment, or a reflective afternoon walk, this tee carries weight without weighing you down.

Choose your fabric weight: the 4.0 oz option drapes lighter for warmer days; the 6.0 oz delivers a more substantial hand for cooler weather or a premium feel. Both feature a regular, true-to-size fit and a tagless finish that keeps the focus where it belongs — on the story.
