The cartoon references the first of the national loans that enabled the funding of the Civil War. In the cartoon, Abraham Lincoln is shown swinging a bundle labeled \u27National Loan\u27 and taking aim at a house of cards built by the Confederate States of America. Each of the cards are labeled with the names of CSA leaders such as Jefferson Davis, John B. Floyd, Howell Cobb, Robert Toombs, and John Slidell. The print is organized and stored in a black album with other reproductive prints.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-cartoons/1120/thumbnail.jp
