Conflict of Abolition and Slavery
This map compares statistics on free and slave states. Issued during the
presidential election campaign of 1856, it pictures famous Western explorer John
C. Fremont (1813-1890), the first presidential candidate of the Republican Party,
and his running mate, William L. Dayton (1807-1864). The Republican Party had
been created in 1854 by opponents of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, which allowed for
extension of slavery into free territory in the West. Despite gaining thirty-three
percent of the popular vote, Frémont lost the election to James Buchanan (17911868). Four years later, however, the Republican Party succeeded in electing
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865).

TITLE:
The political quadrille. Music by Dred Scott
CALL NUMBER:
PC/US - 1860.A000, no. 39 (B size) <P&P>[P&P]
REPRODUCTION NUMBER:
LC-USZ62-14827 (b&w film copy neg.)
SUMMARY: A general parody on the 1860 presidential contest, highlighting the impact of the Dred Scott
decision on the race. That controversial decision, handed down in 1857 by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, ruled
that neither the federal government nor territorial governments could prohibit slavery in the territories. The
burning question of the future of slavery in the United States was addressed by several of the contenders during
the 1860 race. Here the four presidential candidates dance with members of their supposed respective
constituencies. The music is fiddled by Dred Scott, the former slave whose suit precipitated the court's
decision. Scott sits on a chair at center. In the upper left is Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge. He is
paired with Democratic incumbent and ally James Buchanan, depicted as a goat or (as he was nicknamed)
"Buck." At the upper right Republican Abraham Lincoln prances arm-in-arm with a black woman, a pejorative
reference to his party's alignment with the abolitionists. At lower right Constitutional Union party candidate
John Bell dances with an Indian brave. This pairing is puzzling but may allude to Bell's brief flirtation with
Native American interests. (For one instance of the use of the Indian as a nativist symbol see "Know Nothing
Soap," no. 1854-3.) At lower left Stephen A. Douglas dances with a ragged Irishman. Associated with Douglas
in several cartoons (see "The Undecided Political Prize Fight," no. 1860-22) the Irishman, here wearing a cross,
may be intended as a reference to Douglas's backing among Irish immigrants and allegations of the candidate's
Catholicism. "The Political Quadrille's" stylistic similarity to the "Undecided Political Prize Fight" and
"Dividing The National Map" (nos. 1860-22 and 1860-24) suggests a common authorship.
