"Both Sides of the Question"

|
Military and, more specifically, battlefield analogies were common in
19th-century political cartooning. Thomas Nast's use of the genre in this
elaborate two-page cartoon allows him to highlight the martial leadership of
General Ulysses S. Grant, the Republican presidential nominee, during the Civil
War. It furthermore provides the cartoonist with another opportunity to
associate Grant and the Republican party with loyalty to the Union-they are
dressed in the dark blue of the Union troops-and Democratic presidential nominee
Horatio Seymour and his supporters with rebellion-they are outfitted in the gray
worn by Confederate troops. |
