Winfield Scott, shown as the mythical Hercules slaying the many-headed dragon or hydra, here symbolizing the secession of the Confederate states. At left stands Scott, wielding a great club "Liberty and Union," about to strike the beast. The hydra has seven heads, each representing a prominent Southern leader. The neck of each Southerner depicted is labeled with a vice or crime associated with him. They are (from top to bottom): Hatred and Blasphemy (Confederate secretary of state Robert Toombs), Lying (vice president Alexander Stephens), Piracy (president Jefferson Davis), Perjury (army commander P. G. T. Beauregard), Treason (United States general David E. Twiggs who in February 1861 turned over nineteen federal army posts under his command in Texas to the South), Extortion (South Carolina governor Francis W. Pickens), and Robbery (James Buchanan's secretary of war John B. Floyd, accused of supplying federal arms and supplies to the South).Creator: Currier & Ives.Original Date: 1861Subject: Beauregard, P.G.TSubject: Confederate States of America, government and officers ofSubject: Davis, JeffersonSubject: Floyd, John BSubject: Georgia, secession ofSubject: Pickens, Francis WSubject: Scott, Winfield, in the Civil WarSubject: Stephens, AlexanderSubject: Toombs, RobertSubject: Twiggs, David ECollection: Cartoon Prints, American.
