Your Plan and Mine, an October 1864 caricature published by Currier and Ives, a commentary on how the two 1864 presidential candidates would approach ending the Civil War. In the left half, George B. McClellan offers an olive branch to Jefferson Davis, who menaces a black Union soldier with a knife. Davis says I see the Olive Branch and take the Nigger, and am glad to hear that you are willing to be governed once more by your Southern masters. The black man says Why, general! I am a Union soldier! I have shed my blood in defence of liberty and law, and will you give me back again to slavery
