1863 Copperhead Democratic Party Movement Pacifist Political Acts Senator Serpent Shield Sword Union
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "COPPERHEAD CARTOON, 1863" takes us back to a significant moment in American history during the Civil War. Published in a Northern newspaper, this political cartoon vividly depicts the Union under threat from cunning serpents donning the hats of Midwest Democratic congressmen. The artist's intention was to highlight the perceived danger posed by these politicians who were known as Copperheads. The image showcases a powerful symbolism with an intricate blend of elements. A shield representing the Union stands tall amidst chaos and uncertainty, while a senator brandishes his sword in defense. The presence of both men and women suggests that this issue affected all citizens regardless of gender. This artwork serves as a reminder of the deep divisions within America at that time. It reflects how political acts can be seen as threats to national unity during times of conflict. Furthermore, it sheds light on the pacifist sentiments prevalent among some members of society who opposed war efforts. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an extraordinary historical artifact through this photo print. Its visual impact and thought-provoking nature make it an excellent addition for those interested in exploring America's past or studying political cartoons from this era.
