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.

To placate the British amid attempts to stave off an a potential war, Secretary Seward, Lincoln, and others agreed to a disavowal of the Captain's actions. The arrested diplomats were also set free, being allowed to continue on to Europe.

Title A name given to the resource 'The Webster-Ashburton Treaty Ratification' Subject The topic of the resource The ratification document of an 1842 agreement between U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster and Alexander Baring, the Baron Ashburton, of the United Kingdom, signed by U.S. President John Tyler Description An account of the resource An agreement ending the non-violent territorial dispute known as the Aroostook War (1838-1839), between the U.S. and British North America, the provisions of the treaty covered issues beyond agreement on lands between U.S. state of Maine and British-held New Brunswick. It outlined specific provisions regarding criminal extradition between the two parties, as well as laying a path forward for cooperation against the slave trade in the Atlantic. During the Civil War, the use of Canada by Confederate agents to plot against and attack the Union raised anger in the North. Percieved inaction by the Canadian government to address these alleged violations of neutrality, and concerns over the extradition of those involved, led to review of past Canadian-American agreements, including Webster-Ashburton and deals over military access to the Great Lakes. The provision concerning action against he slave trade would be expanded upon, facilitating stronger cooperation, in the Lyons-Seward Treaty of 1862.

Here, the figures of Confederate diplomats James Murray Mason and John Slidell stand aboard a ship travelling to England. There, British Foreign Minister Lord John Russell tears apart the Right of Search document that justified their capture by the Union in November, 1861, seized in a search of the British vessel, the RMS Trent. U.S. Secretary of State William Seward stands across the water from him. Seward faced criticism in England following the capture, amid growing tension over possible threats to Canada and pervieved violations of British neutrality. Finally, Confederate President Jefferson Davis disappointedly stands in the far right, having had hopes that this event would have ended up bringing Britain more solidly in support of the Southern cause.
