Civil War Patriotic Cover “Our Hearts Are With Them” – Homefront Woman at Lamp – Union Sentiment.
Original Civil War patriotic cover titled “Cotton Is King!” featuring a satirical cartoon and dialogue referencing trade, tariffs, and the African slave trade.
The illustration critiques the Confederacy’s reliance on cotton diplomacy while highlighting tensions with Great Britain. The printed dialogue adds depth, making this both a visual and textual piece of wartime political commentary.
An engaging and historically significant example of Civil War economic satire.
Unused and original.
From a large collection of very fine Civil War covers and memorabilia we recently acquired.
“Cotton is King” was a central Southern argument, claiming European dependence on cotton would force recognition of the Confederacy. Northern propaganda countered this narrative, often exposing its moral and economic contradictions—especially regarding slavery.
