EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SECESSION CARTOON, 1861. Southern Ass-Stock-Crazy (Southern Aristocracy)" takes us back to a significant moment in American history during the Civil War era. The cartoon cleverly portrays South Carolina as a stubborn donkey seceding from the Union in 1861. The image serves as a powerful symbol of the political tensions and divisions that plagued the nation at that time. By personifying South Carolina as a donkey, it highlights the state's defiance and determination to break away from the rest of the country. The use of humor in this political cartoon adds an interesting layer to its message. It depicts Southern aristocracy, represented by South Carolina, as being driven by irrationality or "ass-stock-crazy" motives for their secessionist actions. Furthermore, this artwork reminds us of how flags played an essential role in representing different factions during this tumultuous period. The Confederate flag prominently displayed on South Carolina's saddle reinforces its allegiance with the Confederacy. Overall, this print captures not only a historical event but also reflects broader themes such as regional identity and ideological differences that ultimately led to one of America's bloodiest conflicts - the Civil War.
