This full-page cover celebrates Republican Ulysses S. Grant's triumph in the
presidential election over Democrat Horatio Seymour. Political cartoonists in
the 19th century were not squeamish about depicting bloody and even deadly acts
of violence against living persons. Here, Grant beheads Seymour with his sword
and hoists the American flag, representing "Union" and "Equal
Rights." The president-elect's gallant steed rears its front legs over the
felled horse and body of an inebriated Frank Blair, as bourbon spills out of the
failed vice-presidential candidate's bottle. The "Rebellion" of the
Democratic party comprises resistance to the Union draft ("My
friends") and to Reconstruction ("K.K.K."). |
