1828WRCAM56438N.p. 1828. Broadside 20 3/4 x 14 inches. Old folds small closed tears along most folds some separation at center fold. Residue and mild staining from previous tape repairs one older tape repair still in place. Minor edge wear and a few small chips even tanning. About very good. One version of the infamous "Coffin Broadsides" attacking Andrew Jackson in the presidential campaign of 1828. There was considerable mud-slinging between the Jackson and Adams camps during that campaign which eventually saw the defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams and the election of Andrew Jackson. Across the top of the present broadside are six woodcut coffins bearing the names of six militiamen shot for mutiny on Jackson's orders during the War of 1812; an account of their wrongful execution follows. Below that there are more accounts of Jackson's evil and murderous deeds including twelve regular soldiers shot for desertion despite their "not guilty" pleas complete with twelve more coffin woodcuts; Jackson assaulting another man Samuel Jackson in the streets of Nashville and running him through with a sword while Samuel bent over to pick up a rock for defense with a woodcut of a demonic Jackson committing the murderous act; the tale of another soldier unfairly executed another woodcut coffin; and a brief account of some Indian prisoners executed on Jackson's orders four more coffins. The bottom portion includes a testimonial by Thomas Hart Benton who himself had fought a duel with Jackson. <br> <br> The "Coffin Handbill" was printed and reprinted in several sizes and formats. Sabin quotes John Spencer Bassett in his LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON who notes that the "execution of mutinous militiamen in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 was recalled to show Jackson's ferocious temper; and when a Philadelphia editor published a hand-bill showing a coffin with the victims standing by its side the idea was caught up eagerly and repeated in all parts of the country."
