EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1861 cartoon print titled "SECESSION CARTOON" tells a powerful story of political turmoil and the impending Civil War in America. Depicting President James Buchanan as a fearful figure, known as "Old Buck" running away from his responsibilities, the image highlights the helplessness of Columbia, symbolizing the United States, as she watches secessionist South Carolina lead other states astray. The sheep representing these states are portrayed as foolishly following South Carolina into a palmetto grove where predatory crowned heads of Europe eagerly await them. The artist cleverly uses allegory and personification to convey their message. Little Bo-Peep represents South Carolina's shepherdess role in leading her flock astray while the wolf lurking in the middle symbolizes European powers waiting to take advantage of America's vulnerability during this time of division. Through satire and symbolism, this Northern American cartoon serves as both a critique and warning against secessionist acts that could potentially tear apart the nation. It also sheds light on President Buchanan's perceived cowardice and lack of leadership during this critical period. Overall, this historical artwork captures an important moment in American history when tensions were high and decisions made would shape the future. It stands not only as a reminder but also as an artistic representation of political acts with far-reaching consequences for generations to come.
