A single-page political cartoon from Harper's Weekly, May 1863, concerning the Confederate cotton loan raised in Britain. John Bull holds a placard reading 'Cotton Loan $5,000,000' and asks Abraham Lincoln for cotton bought at fivepence a pound. Lincoln replies that the Rebels are burning the cotton and that he confiscates the rest.
