AN ANTI-JACKSON BROADSIDE, ISSUED DURING THE CONTENTIOUS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1828. This is one of several versions issued with similar and at times identical text, but with different typography. This version shows a row of six coffins at the top, referring to the deaths of militiamen during the Creek War.  The next series of coffins represents the executions of regular soldiers shot to death near Nashville.  The single coffin to the right of these refers to the death of John Woods.  The final four coffins stand for the unwarranted death of Indian women and children during the Seminole War.   

The graphic vignette at the bottom left of the broadside depicts Jackson stabbing Samuel Jackson, a Nashville neighbor and no relation, with whom he quarreled and ran through with a cane sword.
