Title A name given to the resource 'Before the Morrill Tariff' Subject The topic of the resource Part of an April, 1861 take on British reactions to the passage of the Morrill Tariff by Congress the month before, printed by the U.S. publication Harper's Weekly. Description An account of the resource The first in a pair of images printed by Harper's Weekly shortly after the start of the Civil War, focusing on British responses to the recently passed Morrill Tariff. In a move unpopular with foreign industrial producers such as Britain, the U.S. Congress voted to pass an increased tariff on the importation of goods. This cartoon addresses the controversy that emerged regarding competition between the U.K.'s anti-slavery interests and its economic connections to both the Union and to the South, the latter a key source of the cotton supply necessary to support British industry throughout the first half of the 19th century.

Title A name given to the resource 'After the Morrill Tariff' Subject The topic of the resource Part of an April, 1861 take on British reactions to the passage of the Morrill Tariff by Congress the month before, printed by the U.S. publication Harper's Weekly. Description An account of the resource The second of a pair of images printed by Harper's Weekly concerning the British response to the Morril Tariff's passage. This illustration reflects the aftermath of the Tariff, in which the economic interests of the United Kingdom have usurped the care they had shown the enslaved in the first illustration. The lion-headed John Bull now sides with the Southern slave master, caring for his wellness while berating, demeaning and vilely cursing the slave he once protected, a complete tonal shift from the characteristics and demeanor of his prior appearance. The transition between the two images is indicative of the northern concern that Britain's economic needs would drive up sympathy for the Southern cause in the war, overcoming their by-then traditional stance against the institution of slavery so widespread throughout the South. The fear lay in the potential that such feelings would lead to greater support for, or an intervention on behalf of, the Confederacy.

The idea of 'King Cotton' dominates the themes of the song, based upon the strong association between the South and the perceived dominance of the cotton industry. Emerging out of arguments made in the 1850s, particularly by South Carolina senator James Henry Hammond before the Senate in 1858. Believing that the economic power of cotton gave the Confederacy diplomatic leverage over the nations of Europe, to pressure foreign support, cotton diplomacy guided their initial efforts at foreign policy. Ultimately, the strategy failed to have the desired impact, increasingly limited Southern cotton gradually replaced by product from other sources.

No known restrictions on use. Language A language of the resource English Description An account of the resource In a circular sent to the ardent abolitionist, the Union and Emancipation Society's words reflect the general themes and platforms of such groups in the United Kingdom. Delivered late in the war, it conveys the growing hope of British reformers that the United States would soon undertake a significant social and political change with the end of slavery. Liberal reformers and Union sympathies often aligned during the war influencing the growth of post-war movements. For some reformers, their interests would take inspiration from the success of Lincoln and the early stages of post-Civil War reform in the United States. Seeing the changes as catalysts for their own political and labor reforms, British society experienced new waves of calls for change through the rest of the century, largley beginning with the Reform Act of 1867, which was based upon expanding the political franchise.
