[edit] Summary
| Description |
Grand Presidential sweep-stakes for 1849. "The Free Soil sympathies of the cartoonist are evident in his portrayal of the 1848 presidential contest as a race between the three major candidates. The contenders are on the course. Whig candidate Zachary Taylor (left) rides a bloodhound with a collar reading "Buena Vista." The bloodhound is a reminder of the public outcry over Taylor's controversial use of dogs against the Indians in the Second Seminole War. " Taylor's opponents are Martin Van Buren and Lewis Cass. |
