|
Three donkeys with human faces, representing President Jefferson Davis, Vice President Alexander Stephens and General P.G.T. Beauregard, are standing near the devil. Davis is asking when all three will meet again. The devil replies very soon. The cartoon is implying the all tree will be caught and executed in the near future and will meet up with each other in Hell. The portrayal of all three as donkeys might be because of the fact that all three were believed to be Southern Democrats by the cartoonist, despite the fact that Alexander Stephens was known to have belonged Whig Party. |
