Horatio Seymour: White Man’s Govt Campaign Badge
<B>Horatio Seymour: A Rare 1868 “White Man’s Government” Campaign Badge - A Unique Variant</B></I>. We have previously seen this as a shell with pin on back. The present example, however, is thicker with a flat back, and incorporates a suspension loop at the top as an integral part of the construction. Beautiful condition. Measures 28mm x 44mm. The principal Democratic issue with southern voters was the charge that the Republican administration had subjected the defeated South to Negro supremacy. A September 1868 Thomas Nast cartoon in <I>Harper’s Weekly</B></I> was titled “This Is a White Man’s Government.”<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
