Though republished in 1910, this document still expresses the grief that Lincoln's death caused outside the United States. Of note is that even though Lincoln was the subject of much caricature, satirization, and even criticism from publications such as Punch, the work of the president in matters of war and emancipation were not forgotten.

Operating as a journalist in Alabama prior to the war, Hotze would later enter into work for the Confederate government. In late 1861, Hotze was the task of establishing an operation in Great Britain that could sway public opinion to the cause of the South. Hotze spent the majority of the war working to spread Confederate-leaning sentiments throughout British journalism, including in the form of his own weekly publication, The Index. This image was likely taken around the timeframe of his journalism career and early service to the Confederate cause.

The leader of the nation most likely to intervene in the conflict, and at times Palmerston faced the temptation to do so. His own opinions on the conflict varied, from favoring a perpetually divided America weakened by a Southern victory, to a general desire for continued British neutrality. While the latter interest ultimately won out, the Prime Minister remained a face of percieved Confederate sympathies. Palmerston, members of his government, and others in Parliament garnered criticism from the Northern public and press, facing repeated pressures from the U.S. State department to both stay out of the conflict and address the matter of Confederate activity and support within the United Kingdom.

After being released, Slidell worked to encourage French action, though the nation largely based its decisions off the actions being taken by the United Kingdom. England remained neutral, despite persistent interest in mediating the conflict, with no such plan ever fully undertaken. Thus Slidell encountered little diplomatic success, though he generated sympathetic connections through French society. After the war, Slidell, as well as Mason, aided exiled Confederate officials leaving the U.S. settle in France and England.

The illustration mocks British reliance on southern cotton while also targeting the Southern economic reliance on the crop. The South's decision to place an embargo on cotton exports and the effects of the Union's blockade together placed the prominence of 'King Cotton' on shaky ground, susceptible to collapse. Cotton diplomacy with britain and France was unable to win necessary support for the South. Over the course of the war, and afterwards Southern cotton encountered greater competition from the colonized regions of the Middle East and Asia.
