Description1848 United States Free Soil van Buren cartoon.jpg |
An 1848 caricature cartoon on the U.S. presidential race, supporting the Free Soil Party candidacy of Martin van Buren. The Free Soil Party was a strong third party that year, which firmly rejected any expansion of slavery into territories conquered in the Mexican War. The major-party candidates -- Democrat Lewis Cass of Michigan and Whig Gen. Zachary Taylor -- stand at left, confessing their shortcomings, while Van Buren (holding the U.S. Constitution) stands at right with the "Goddess of Liberty". In the middle are a number of other prominent political figures of the day, depicted negatively (except for Van Buren's son). The Library of Congress notes copied below explain the cartoon from right to left, but it was more probably intended to be read from left to right.
