Summary
[edit]DescriptionJeffersonDavisBenedictArnoldTreasonCartoon1865.jpg |
English: This is a political cartoon, captioned "A Proper Family Re-Union" at the bottom. It depicts Satan and Benedict Arnold welcoming Jefferson Davis to Hell. The three figures stand around a cauldron labeled "Treason Toddy". Satan is shown in the center, dropping a small human figure (a male slave in loin cloth) into the cauldron, saying "I feel proud of my American sons — Benedict and Jeff". Arnold is on the left, wearing his military uniform and stirring the cauldron, saying "Welcome, Davis! Thou shalt be warmly received by thy father". Davis is on the right (with "stolen gold" at his feet), dressed in women's clothing and riding boots (based on a story that near the end of the war he fled disguised as a woman). He is also stirring the cauldron, and says "Well, Arnold, the C.S.A. are done gone, so I have come home". Skulls labeled "Anderson[ville]" and "Libby" at bottom refer to infamous Confederate prisons. |
