We saw in the early years of the Democracy a preponderance of anti-Democratic-Republican cartoons. Now, as the Federalist Party declines, we begin to see more anti-Federalist caricatures like this one (8A-1066498). Here a cartoonist attacks certain members of Congress supposedly in favor of pushing "Brothers Mass, little Rhode and Conn" into the arms of King George III. It was anti-Federalist sentiment like this which eased Democratic-Republican James Monroe's rise to the Presidency in 1816.
