Summary

Description

Political cartoon. President Andrew Johnson cringingly delivers a pardon to Jefferson Davis (then imprisoned at Fortress Monroe) while Thaddeus Stevens and Wendell Phillips hang in the background. The dialogue is from ill-advised exchanges between Johnson and hecklers during his 1866 campaign trip, the "Swing Around the Circle".
