The Political Barbara Frietchie
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical illustration published in Puck Magazine on February 22, 1905. This provocative cartoon, created by an unknown artist, portrays a dramatic scene of Barbara Frietchie, a legendary figure from Civil War history, facing off against a troop of senators dressed as Confederate soldiers. Barbara Frietchie, a fictional character created by John Greenleaf Whittier, was a symbol of defiance and resistance during the Civil War. In Whittier's poem, she famously waved her flag at Confederate troops, daring them to take it down. In this political cartoon, however, the scene is reimagined with a modern twist. The senators, led by an officer labeled "Trusts," are depicted as Confederate soldiers, marching down the street. Barbara Frietchie, labeled "Dingley Tariff," stands in her window, waving a flag labeled "High Protection." The Dingley Tariff was a protective tariff passed in 1897, which raised taxes on imported goods to protect American industries. The cartoon is a commentary on the political climate of the time, with the "Trusts" representing powerful business interests and the "Dingley Tariff" representing protectionist policies. The image of Barbara Frietchie, a symbol of resistance during the Civil War, is used to criticize these political forces and their impact on American society. The use of the Confederate soldiers as a symbol of these political forces adds an extra layer of meaning to the cartoon. By drawing parallels between the Confederacy and the powerful interests of the time, the artist is highlighting the perceived threat they pose to the nation. Overall, "The Political Barbara Frietchie" is a powerful and thought-provoking piece of political satire that continues to resonate over a century after it was first published.
