Satire on Republican platform's antislavery plank
Légende
The rail candidate' The antislavery plank was a controversial feature of the 1860 Republican platform. Here Republican nominee Abraham Lincoln is shown uncomfortably straddling a rail--a dual allusion to the platform and to Lincoln's backwoods origins--carried by a black man and abolitionist editor of the New York 'Tribune' Horace Greeley.
