Thomas Nast's \"Compromise With the South\" was a scathing indictment of the Democratic Party's peace platform. It portrayed the \"Peace Democrats\" as traitors willing to let the sacrifices of Union soldiers go to waste. Abraham Lincoln’s campaign distributed millions of copies of this specific print, and it is widely credited with helping Lincoln secure his reelection.\n📜 Damn the Torpedoes: While the political war raged in the North, the naval war reached a crescendo in the South. This issue documents Admiral Farragut’s daring run through the minefields and forts of Mobile Bay, a victory that finally closed the last major Confederate port on the Gulf Coast.\n​🌟 FEATURED HIGHLIGHTS 🌟\n​🎨 \"Compromise With the South\" by Thomas Nast (Full-Page): The legendary print that made Nast a national household name.
