“Bringing The Thing Home”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
The issue of Harper's Weekly in which this
cartoon appears hit the newsstands on July 3, almost a week before the start of
the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore. It was clearly intended to
exert a maximum divisive effect on Southern delegates coming to the convention.
The New York Tribune quickly pointed out (on the first day of the convention)
that the caption beneath the picture had not appeared in Greeley's newspaper on
the given date, and implied that Harper's Weekly had committed an intentional
forgery. Two weeks later an editorial in Harper's Weekly (dated July 27) noted
that the quotation had been taken from the Tribune of May 1, 1861, three weeks
after Fort Sumter had been fired upon, rather than the incorrect date set under
the cartoon. |
