Title: Our national bird as it appeared when handed to James Buchanan, March 4, 1857. The identical bird as it appeared A. D. 1861 Statement of responsibility: Woolf Creator/Contributor: Woolf, Michael Angelo, 1837-1899 (Artist) Genre: Political cartoons; Lithographs; Prints Publisher: Entered according to act of Congress... by Thomas W. Strong, Depot 98 Nassau St., N. Y. Date issued: 1861 Physical description: 1 print : lithograph ; 12 x 16 1/4 in. Summary/Abstract: The iconic national bird, representing the Union, is strong and healthy at the beginning of Democrat James Buchananâs administration, but by the time Republican Abraham Lincoln assumed the Presidency, it is gaunt and emaciated reflecting the secession of 11 southern states from the Union. This political cartoon highlights the rising tensions over statesâ rights during the antebellum period and the ultimate dissolution of the Union in 1861. The fact that Buchananâs administration was riddled with corruption and charges of bribery and graft, only worsened the toll that years fighting over slavery and statesâ rights had taken on the nationâs vitality.
