HarpWeek Commentary: This
Thomas Nast cartoon shows Manton Marble, editor of the anti-Lincoln Peace Democrat
(Copperhead) New York World, and John Van Buren (son of the eighth president)
vilifying Johnson in 1864 and cozying up to him a year later. Fernando Wood, Copperhead
Mayor of New York and Democratic Congressman, is between Johnson and Van Buren on the
right, with Marble kneeling. |
