Scott's great snake. Cartoon map illustrating Gen. Winfield Scott's plan to crush the Confederacy, economically. It is sometimes called the "Anaconda plan."
- The tail of the snake is wrapped around the flagpole at Washington D.C., with U.S. flag and liberty cap.
- New York has winged cap of "FREE TRADE" and a colorful soldier from one of its Zouave regiments; ships are entering the port of New York (unlike the blockaded southern ports).
- New Jersey has "Trenton 76 + 61" written.
- Delaware has "Union Peaches" written.
- Maryland has "We give in MD" written.
- Virginia has beehive with Stars and Bars flag (representing Richmond) and burning railroad bridge.
- West Virginia (separated from Virginia by dotted line) has man flying U.S. flag and waving sword.
- North Carolina has sketch of a man eating from a barrel labeled "Rosin" with the caption "POOR EATING".
- South Carolina has "CONTRABANDS" (runaway slaves) fleeing for Tennessee.
- Georgia has dilapidated "COTTON FACTORY" building falling apart.
- Alabama is complaining "DAM OLD VIRGINIA TOOK OUR CAPITOL" (the Confederate capital was moved from Montgomery to Richmond).
- Mississippi has sketch of "BURNING MASSA OUT".
- Louisiana shows idle men lying on barrels saying "Can't ship now" and a lynched "UNION MAN" hanging from gallows.
- Texas has sketch of "COSTLY SHOOTING $1000.00 A HEAD" (a Confederate man firing at fleeing slaves).
- Indian Territory shows Indian smoking pipe in front of teepees, cradleboard hanging from tree in background.
- The head of the snake is in Missouri, driving "Jackson & Co." into Arkansas.
- "Kanzas"[sic] shows "Union Music" (sketch of advancing troops under U.S. flag).
- Iowa similarly shows "HAWK-EYE MARKSMEN" advancing.
- Illinois, Indiana and Ohio show corn, pork and wheat being speeded eastward by railroad. A cannon in southern Illinois (next to flagpole with U.S. flag) is pointed southwestward.
- Kentucky shows soldier with coonskin hat sitting on fence in name of "ARMED NUTRALITY"[sic].
- Eastern Tennessee (separated by a dotted line from the rest of the state) shows "KNOCKSVILLE WHIG" in pugilistic attitude, next to flagpole flying U.S. flag.
- There are several engraving errors (due to fact that the plate had to be engraved in mirror-image form): the dollar sign and the "S" of "South Carolina" are backwards.
