Civil War Political Cartoon

This carton represents the different views between President Abe Lincoln and Jefferson Davis with George B. Mclellan in the middle. Abe Lincoln simply wanted to preserve the Union and didn't believe it to be possible with slavery in the picture. Jefferson Davis on the other hand, was from the south and viewed slaves as property and a part as the south's economy. In the middle we have General George B Mclellan who was a Civil War General, memeber of the Democratic party, important organizer for the Union, and opposed federal interference with slavery.
