In this cartoon Thomas Nast encapsulates his interpretation of the Civil War activities of the presidential competitors in 1868. General Ulysses S. Grant is shown as the hero of the Union cause and victor of the Civil War. His pose is casual, exuding a calm confidence to take on any task. The text below the general underlines his commitment to the principle of unconditional surrender. The cartoon’s title is a play on one of the Republicans’ campaign slogans—“Match him!”—which expressed confidence that their candidate’s qualities were unrivaled.
