Description
- Abstract:
- This cartoon was drawn in reaction to the presidential election of November 1864. Lincoln, who only a few weeks earlier, had seemed doomed to defeat at the hands of George McClellan, rises from the flames. With a stars-and-stripes shield draped around his neck he ascends from the conflagration of his country, in which burning brands are labelled "Commerce," "United States Constitution," "Free Press," "Credit," "Habeus Corpus," and "States Rights."
