I'll also remind the guy who made the last one that Lincoln was considered a "radical leftist" by the conservatives of his day. Why, just look at how they characterized his supporters:
Person enamored with charisma or celebrity: check
Person who conservatives consider a sexual deviant: check
Person who conservatives consider a religious deviant: check (hey look, it's the Mormons!)
Minority caricature wanting special rights: check
Women's rights person hates men: check
Collection of layabouts, foreigners, and thugs: check, check, and check!
And a candidate who will give the lot of them everything they want: get a free visit to Check-oslovakia (must have been the place Liz Cheney was talking about, since the Velvet Divorce was 20 years ago)
The Republican Party going to the right House
Title: The Republican Party going to the right House
Creator(s): Currier & Ives.,
Related Names:
Maurer, Louis, 1832-1932 , artist
Date Created/Published: : Published by Currier & Ives, 152 Nassau St. N.Y., c1860.
Medium: 1 print on wove paper : lithograph ; image 24 x 40 cm.
Summary: Abraham Lincoln's supporters are portrayed as radicals and eccentrics of various stripes. The satire is loosely based on an anti-Fremont cartoon from the previous presidential race, "The Great Republican Reform Party" (no. 1856-22), also issued by Nathaniel Currier. Here Lincoln, sitting astride a wooden rail borne by Horace Greeley, leads his followers toward a lunatic asylum. Greeley instructs him, "Hold on to me Abe, and we'll go in here by the unanimous consent of the people." Lincoln exhorts his followers, "Now my friends I'm almost in, and the millennium is going to begin, so ask what you will and it shall be granted." At the head of the group is a bearded man, arm-in-arm with a woman and a Mormon. He claims to "represent the free love element, and expect to have free license to carry out its principles." The woman looks at Lincoln, saying "Oh! what a beautiful man he is, I feel a passionate attraction' every time I see his lovely face." The Mormon adds, "I want religion abolished and the book of Mormon made the standard of morality." They are followed by a dandified free black, who announces, "De white man hab no rights dat cullud pussons am bound to spect' I want dat understood." Behind him an aging suffragette says, "I want womans rights enforced, and man reduced in subjection to her authority." Next a ragged socialist or Fourierist, holding a liquor bottle, asserts, "I want everybody to have a share of everybody elses property." At the end of the group are three hooligans, one demanding "a hotel established by government, where people that aint inclined to work, can board free of expense, and be found in rum and tobacco." The second, a thief, wants "the right to examine every other citizen's pockets without interruption by Policemen." The last, an Irish street tough, says, "I want all the stations houses burned up, and the M.P.s killed, so that the bohoys can run with the machine and have a muss when they please."
