An 1856 cartoon depicts a giant free soiler being held down by James Buchanan and Lewis Cass standing on the Democratic platform marked "Kansas", "Cuba" and "Central America". Franklin Pierce also holds down the giant's beard as Stephen A. Douglas shoves a slave down his throat.

This 1856 map shows slave states (grey), free states (red), and US territories (green) with Kansas in center (white).
