English: Panels from 1863 cartoon "The House That Jeff Built" by David Claypoole Johnston, satirizing Jefferson Davis, slavery, and the Confederacy.

Panel 9, showing a "cat-o-nine-tails" whip. "This is the scourge by some call’d the cat, Stout in the handle, and nine tails to that, t’is joyous to think that the time’s drawing near when the cat will no longer cause chattels to fear, nor the going, going, gone of that thing call’d a man, whose trade is to sell all the chattels he can, from yearlings to adults of life’s longest span, in and out of the house that Jeff built."

Panel 10, showing a slaver gleefully flogging a slave woman lashed to a post.

"Here the slave driver in transport applies, nine tails to his victim, nor heeds her shrill cries, Alas! that a driver with nine tails his own, should be slave to a driver who owns only one, albeit he owns that thing call’d a man, whose trade is to sell all the chattels he can, from yearlings to adults of life’s longest span, in and out of the house that Jeff built."
