Date Created/Published: 1865.
Summary: A biting cartoon showing Confederate president Jefferson Davis in league with both the devil and Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold. Arnold and Davis stir a cauldron of 'Treason Toddy,' a brew into which the devil drops miniature black slaves. The devil holds a pitchfork and gloats, 'I feel proud of my American sons--Benedict and Jeff.' Davis, dressed in a bonnet, shawl, and dress (see 'The Chas-ed 'Old Lady' of the C.S.A.,' no. 1865-11), explains to his fellow traitor, 'Well, Arnold, the C.S.A. [Confederate States of America] are 'done gone' so I have come home.' Arnold greets him, 'Welcome, Davis! Thou shalt be warmly received by thy father.' At the cauldron base, marked '1865,' lie two skulls, marked 'Libby' and 'Andersonville,'--no doubt intended to represent Union victims of the two notorious Confederate prisons Libby and Andersonville. Copperheads writhe on the ground. Near Davis's feet are a bag of 'Stolen Gold' and a valise marked with his initials and 'C.S.A. 1865.'
