A Family Quarrel
1861, Sir John Tenniel
In this Cartoon, a married couple representing the South and North are having a domestic dispute. The woman representing the South is shaking her fist at the man representing the North and both are holding half of the American Map. Furniture around them is broken and in the back there is a caricature of a happy, childish slave sneaking away from the fight. The cartoon shows that slavery was an important factor of the war no matter what the North and South said.

Secession Exploded
1861, unknown artist
In this cartoon, Uncle Sam is using a cannon that says "Death to Traitors" to shoot a sea monster that represents the movement for secession. The monster is exploding into smaller creatures, each of which represents a Southern state. Baltimore (a two-faced creature) is holding onto Uncle Sam's coattails, representing how Maryland did not secede but many residents shared the ideas of the South. Union Commander, Winfield Scott, is lying down on an American Flag on the shore.

Masks and Faces
1862, Unknown Artist
In this cartoon, President Abraham Lincoln is removing a mask that reveals his true identity - Satan. At his feet lies the Emancipation Proclamation - his evil deed - and it is dated January 1, 1863. In the background of the cartoon is the unfinished Washington Monument, and this shows the Southern belief that slavery was one of the rights for which the forefathers had fought for. This cartoon supports the South.
