The Secession Movement
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print created by Currier & Ives in 1861, during a tumultuous period in American history. This artwork, measuring 29.1x42 cm, showcases the artistic brilliance of the American School from the 19th century. In this thought-provoking image, we witness an allegorical representation of the Southern states as they ride donkeys and follow South Carolina towards the edge of a cliff. The donkeys symbolize their stubbornness and blind pursuit of secession, while South Carolina takes the lead in this misguided chase. The focal point of this artwork is a butterfly labeled "Secession Humbug" fluttering just out of reach for these southern states. It serves as a metaphor for their futile quest to break away from the Union and highlights how easily they are swayed by false promises and misguided beliefs. This political cartoon reflects both satire and historical significance. It captures the tensions that led to America's Civil War with its clever caricatures and symbolism. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into public opinion during that era. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this print offers us a glimpse into America's past struggles through artistry and wit. Its detailed engravings depict not only insects like butterflies but also mammals such as pigs – all serving as powerful symbols within this complex narrative. As we explore "The Secession Movement" we gain an appreciation for its historical context while marveling at its artistic
