"Forcing Slavery Down the Throat of a Free-Soiler"
An 1854 cartoon depicts a giant Free-Soiler being held down by James Buchanan and Lewis Cass, who stand on the Democratic platform marked "Kansas," "Cuba," and "Central America" (referring to accusations that Southerners wanted to annex areas in Latin America to expand slavery). Franklin Pierce also grips the giant's beard as Stephen A. Douglas shoves a black man down his throat.
