The Slidell and Mason Case argued at the American Bar - from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. Creator: Frank Vizetelly
The Slidell and Mason Case argued at the American Bar - from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. When the first intelligence reached here of the capture of Slidell and Mason, with their secretaries, the public excitement was greater than anything I have witnessed throughout my experience of the campaign. The arguments at the American Bar (rooms) went fast and furious; the pros and cons (few of the latter) were bandied from one stump orator to another, and most of the discussions ended in any amount of smashes (brandy-smashes, I mean), while numerous skins (whisky skins) were roughly handled by judge and jury. "Waal now, Mister, I guess that the overhauling of that thaar Britisher is a big thing anyhow, and I'll be dogged if Cap'n Wilks ain't been right smart to lay a hand on them skunks" (meaning the Southern Commissioners). This opinion was of course received with unanimous applause, when another gentleman moved "That now Uncle Sam had got em in his fist he should squeege em pretty tight, and not mind nary international laws". From "Illustrated London News", 1862. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing 1862 sketch by Frank Vizetelly for the Illustrated London News, we witness the heated debates at the American Bar over the recent capture of Confederate envoys James Mason and John Slidell by Union forces. The excitement in the room is palpable as men argue passionately about the significance of this event. One man expresses his approval of the capture, declaring that Slidell and Mason were "skunks" who deserved to be "squeege'd pretty tight," disregarding any international laws. The room erupts in applause, reflecting the intense emotions surrounding the Civil War and the ongoing diplomatic tensions between the United States and Great Britain. The sketch captures the raw energy and intensity of the arguments, with brandy-smashes and whisky skins adding to the chaotic atmosphere. The Slidell and Mason Case was a major diplomatic incident during the American Civil War, and this sketch offers a fascinating glimpse into the public reaction to the news of their capture.
