The cow is labeled "The Union. I have a good Constitution, and can stand a pretty strong pull!" [Pictorial File, B V]
• "Jeff Davis on His Own Platform," New York, [ca. 1861-62]. Jefferson Davis is draped in a Confederate flag and is about to be hanged from a gallows, the trap door of which is labeled "Secession Trap." Other Southern leaders, including Robert Toombs, P. G. T. Beauregard, Alexander Stephens, and Francis W. Pickens await their turn with nooses around their necks. Though unattributed, this print was probably issued by Currier & Ives. [Pictorial File, B V]

• "Selling Out Cheap," New York. Charles Sumner makes a deal with the Devil. "Letter to Colorado Citizens" and "Sumner's Speech Against Grant" hang from the desk. [Pictorial File, B V]
• "South Carolina's Ultimatum," New York. Governor F. W. Pickens of South Carolina is standing before the "Peace Maker" cannon as he lights it while President James Buchanan looks on in alarm. The U.S. flag flies over Fort Sumter in the distance. [Pictorial File, B V]

• Lithograph political cartoon depicting Ulysses S. Grant titled "Headquarters at Harrison's Landing," n.d. [Pictorial File, B V]

• "Little Bo-Peep and Her Foolish Sheep," Strong's Dime Caricatures (no. 2), New York, ca. 1861. The second in a series of caricatures criticizing the secession of several Southern states from the Union during the last months of the Buchanan administration. Bo-Peep, representing the Union, tries to protect the sheep (two of which are labeled Virginia and Kansas). Seven of the sheep (representing the states that seceded) flee into a Palmetto forest full of wolves representing the European powers. An old dog "Hickory" (Andrew Jackson) lies dead in the grass while another, "Old Buck" (James Buchanan), flees toward the left. The artist was probably John H. Goater, the artist responsible for numbers one, three, and probably four in the "Dime Caricatures" series. [Pictorial File, B V]
