EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the American Civil War era transports us back to a time of intense division and political turmoil. Entitled "Virginia Paws-ing" it showcases a Confederate cartoon depicting President Abraham Lincoln as a cat, symbolizing his cunning nature. The caption, "A Consoling Thought" hints at the irony behind this portrayal. In the image, Uncle Abe is depicted catching Virginia as it secedes from the Union. The dialogue between them reveals an attempt to downplay the gravity of their actions: Uncle Abe insists that nothing is going wrong and nobody is suffering, while Virginia confidently asserts that they can celebrate independence on both July 4th and March 4th. The dead rat lying beneath them bears an inscription proclaiming, "The Union must and shall be preserved". This serves as a stark reminder of the underlying tensions tearing apart America during this tumultuous period. Moving from left to right in the photograph are Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, Mississippi, and South Carolina – states that had already seceded or were about to do so. Their presence emphasizes how deeply divided the nation had become. Taken circa 1861 by Fotosearch/Getty Images for historical documentation purposes rather than commercial use; this print offers us a glimpse into one of America's darkest chapters. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to learn from history's mistakes in order to build a more united future.
