"Marvelous Equestrian Performance on Two Animals"

The Democratic National Convention endorsed a
peace plank in their platform, but it was repudiated by their presidential
nominee George McClellan, who promised to administer the Union war effort more
effectively than Lincoln. Thus the Democratic party presented a divided image to
the Union electorate of a pro-war presidential candidate supported by an
anti-war party. It became a common motif in the 1864 cartoons to picture
McClellan straddling two horses (or in this case, a horse and the Democratic
Donkey), one labeled "War" and one labeled "Peace." (The
straddling-two-horses analogy had been used previously against Republican John
C. Frémont in 1856.) |
