Summary
| Description |
English: 1848 Democratic cartoon attacks Gen. Taylor as butcher in Mexican War by portraying him sitting on a pile of skulls. In mid-19th-century United States political terminology, "available" basically meant electable. Some would have considered this hypocritical, since overall the Democratic party had been much more enthusiastically gung-ho about the war than the Whig party.
Original caption: "An Available Candidate. The one qualification for a Whig president. " |
