One thought on “The Re-emancipation Proclamation

  1. Assume you are referring to the 1860 POTUS election in this cartoon. If so, you should be aware that there were four candidates and four parties in that election.

    Lincoln – Republican
    Douglas – Northern Democrat
    Bell – Constitutional Unionist
    Breckinridge – Southern Democrat

    Was it the Southern Democrats who kept Lincoln off the ballot in 10 of 11 future Confederate States?

    It was actually the southern state’s legislatures. You know, because they loved them some slave owning.

    Say hi to Li 4 me.
