This political cartoon from the 1864 campaign accuses Lincoln of military ineptness (after the Battle of Bull Run) and of running the printing presses at full speed. Salmon P. Chase was Secretary of the Treasury from 1861 to 1864 and worked to establish the first national banking system. The Greenback was created during Chase's term and is considered to be the basis for our current paper money system.

Chase went on to become a Supreme Court justice and was well known for his efforts at fighting slavery.
