From the North, this cartoon seems ridiculous to us because it shows the states of the South seceeding from the nation and planning to take down our Union. We all know our Union is what's right for our country, but frankly the South doesn't agree. Now that they consider themselves Confederates and not a part of the United States, the North can become a happy Union with no worries of this Civil War we are fighting.
This cartoon is a comical way to show that South Carolina is trying to secede from the United States. In this cartoon, South Carolina is represented as a donkey tied to a post, this post being the Union. Since the donkey is stuck and trying to escape, it seems as if this cartoon must've been made by somebody from the South. This assumption can be made because the South feels stuck to the Union and want to escape. This cartoon from the antebellum period of the Civil War could be assumed to be made in the South.
